Sorry, I was unclear. The choices are “Call new election in December” or “Call new election in March”. The PM does stay in office until the election is over, but the question is when it starts.
You can’t simply call a election next week. The process of holding an election takes time. 3 months seems to me a reasonable timeframe to prepare an election.
