I was thinking no-confidence votes, mostly; the party may have a majority but it's not supporting you. Which seems like it should lead to a new PM but feels like it means new elections in practice. Maybe because the rejected PM can call elections. Or maybe I'm just wrong.
But there's also when the PM doesn't have a majority from her own party, and leads a coalition of parties; then obviously one of the components might explicitly rebel, and if no other coalition can form, elections! By-elections of dead or resigned or convicted MPs could do it as well but I think that's a minor cause.
