I think that's splitting hairs, MYK. To me, they are pure and simple election ads - whether or not they are a month or 2 before an election is called.
And I think your 2nd part reinforces that they are - while at the same time showing a smart move by the Tories. Put an election ad out, before an election is actually called, so you don't have to worry about election spending laws. I guess that is the advantage of being the government, minority or not.
