That would've been both politically and legally risky. Folks would undoubtedly challenge it on a multitude of legal grounds, some of which could well succeed, and also the general consensus seems to be that Boris' best shot at winning the election is to schedule it before Oct 31 so he can turn it into a vote on no-deal Brexit and scoop up the Brexit Party voter base.

I mean, I'd prefer to face election as the victorious conquering hero. Unless I thought everything would go to shit the day after no deal.
