Section 2 of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011 gives two ways for a snap election to be held. One is for the House of Commons to declare no confidence in the government, and the other is for a 2/3 majority of MPs to vote for an early election.
Furthermore, a motion of no confidence can be triggered based on a vote over a major issue on which the government fought the last general election. There are many areas where the government has failed to deliver on official election campaign promises.
