We currently have a minority government. Which means that the opposition parties could have a non-confidence vote at any time to dissolve the government and force an election. The last minitory government lasted only 6 months, but others have lasted for years. Really the government just has to pick a compatible party and incorporate some of their ideas into their bills.
