Not exactly what the majority of people want to do, fireworks? drink? food? sure but waving a flag around is not going to generate mass-support. Especially in a country like this were people don't identify with their flag/country as much as some countrys (i.e Some Americans).
We do have a lot of historical figures we could honor, and events we could honor, yet we choose to use St George killing a dragon.
The lack of attention to St Georges day is not because of the government nor political correctness but because people simply do not care that much.
