It's because they regret leaving the British Empire so much but they are too embarrassed to admit is since they went to all that trouble of writing out officious sounding documents and pouring perfectly good tea into a harbour. It's Ok to want to be part of something greater than yourselves. And all will be forgiven when you rejoin the new Extra British Empire. The only condition for rejoining the greatest empire in the history of the planet is that the City of Boston must be levelled and turned into a gigantic tea plantation. For the past five years you have been ruled by an secret islamic monarch who was born in kenya as preparation for the day when you return to the glorious embrace of the EBE. So my erstwhile cousins, put down your coffee and AR-15s and rejoin the Glorious Extra British Empire today! [spoiler]I seriously hope someone gets butthurt over this. It's about as obvious as I can make it without saying it directly. You guys know we'd never take you ruffians back![/spoiler]
