I'm relatively confident in saying that anyone who voted Labour, SNP, Green, most Independents, and a good chunk of Lib Dem would not have wanted a Tory government.
But you're never going to get a party having over 50% in a multi-party system, its not happened since 1931 in this country when politics really was a two party affair. And even if you put together Labour voters, SNP voters, Green voters and every Lib Dem voter, that doesn't even make up 50% of the vote. If we absolutely insist on talking about national vote share well then the right of centre parties in the Tories, Ukip, the DUP and the UUP got just about over 50% of the national vote.
