The US do have a problem with us Brits who fail to talk like Hugh Grant. My missus (born Londoner) was declared Aussie - by a Seattle waiter who fancied himself as an expert on accents. How we laughed. I blame Neighbours.

?? Ken McLivingstone, I presume, the most influential directly elected man in Britain. No Scots running the place round where I live.
Blair isn't Scottish either, he just pretends to be to get votes. Charles Clarke isn't, Jack Straw isn't, so that's three out of the top four. You may as well ask why there are no Northern Irish or Welsh senior ministers.
