so as i understand it if 55% of MP's go against the Govt it is a vote of no confindence,i wonder how many cons and libdem mps need to defect to do this,i'm sure theirs a few MP's on all side just waiting to disrupt things

No, because the resulting election would swing massively against which ever party's MPs were seen to bring down the government. The public (as we've seen in previous no-confidence-vote caused elections) do not like being asked to vote twice in a year.
