Well if you are an athiest republican and British then the British National Anthem is pretty much the worst song ever written. So I can understand someone like that refusing to sing a song that does not in any way reflect his/her vision for what Britain should be.

Politically though, if you harbour aspirations of prime ministership then it's probably a good idea to suck it up and sing the damned thing, even if you look like you've just sucked a lemon.
