Of course we could, doesn't mean we'd get it. The government did get a majority although you are right in saying no individual party did, however there are two parties in the government and together a majority was achieved.
After the election there were a number of things that could of happened, The conservative party could have formed a minority government which would have been risky and probably wouldn't have worked, or the conservative or labour party could have formed a coalition with various other parties (which is what happened), and lastly there could have been a re-election.
A coaltion was formed and so far has been moderately popular unlike the Lab-Lib pact of 1977 which didn't involve any lib dems in the excecutive and fell through after 15 months.
