The Labour situation probably also makes it unlikely for it to be plausible to call for elections, as to call an early election in the simplest way requires a 2/3rds majority of the House in favour (i.e., 431 votes, 101 seats more than the Tories hold). The alternative, which the Tories in principle could do alone, is pass a motion of no confidence in the Government, wait two weeks, and then the House falls to an election (this assumes that all Tories would vote as a block, thereby making it impossible for a motion of confidence to be passed in those two week).
