should be no problem in forming a minority goverment as long as they are not outnumbered by the right wing parties
That's either a whopper of an oxymoron, or a statement of the blindingly obvious (or both).

Minority governments in the UK are inherently unstable and short-lived for the rather obvious reason that they can't push through legislation.

The UK has only had three minority governments in the last 40 odd years (or longer). One lasted 7 months, one lasted 2 years and collapsed after one of these "informal pacts" got sh1tcanned, and the only other one came about because of attrition during office of a small majority towards the end of its term.

Chill out, sit back and watch the fun unfold. Don't worry, the world will still spin.
