Once parliament is dissolved, it's dissolved. Previous status has no bearing. The only part of the equation that mattered was that King believed he could hold the confidence of the House. The fact that he was PM in the previous House is completely irrelevant. Honestly, think about you're writing and ask how that would make any sense in a constitutional legal dispute.
