Because its pointless.
Im english, i have no scottish or welsh or northern irish blood in me.
I am English as they come. I am proud to be, being british means nothing.
Im sure people never call you british, they call you scottish!
I have no problem with it being there, i have a probelm with being called british, as im English first as you pointed out. 
Tis all

Clive you are as English as they come, stop with this fake Italian rubbish.
You were born here and have lived here all your life (from what I can tell) so just because your parents are Italian it doesnt make you one. I dont see the big deal about wanting to be italian either, not exactly got the best reputation in the world.

No, I'm not quite sure I would want to be Italian over being British 
I would'nt want to be viewed by the rest of the world at completely useless country that runs away from war and changes side when the going gets rough

you dont feel english so you dont vote? You live here, so whatever Government is in power here effects you (your education, your healthcare, your police, etc. etc.) so feel it or not surely its more in your best interests to vote in the country you live??

yes good point but, i find that it depends on what area you live in to your quality of education, health, police, etc, and what ever goverment is in power if i live in the suburbs i will have it better than if i was living in the city

it doesnt matter where you live in the UK, you are effected by the Government. Even just simple laws that you dont realise are there, etc. It just makes no sense to me to vote for the Government of a country you dont live in and therefore wont effect how you live, and ignore the country you do live in!!
