If the latter then I beg to know how, given that there are no distinguishing characteristics for the English.

And how are they prevented from doing so? The House of Commons is made up in the large majority by English MPs. We are hardly unrepresented in the government.
But by your definition they are human as opposed to English. So if the House of Commons was full of French MPs we would be equally represented.
We would indeed, if we chose them.
Or are you saying that only the English can have loyalty to their English voters?

I look forward to the days when people will define themselves by their humanity rather than their country.
