Rejected petition Change the National Anthem to one that equally represents our modern society.

Times have changed. The current national anthem "God Save the Queen" is an outdated anthem that is used to represent British nationals, for example, at Olympic Award ceremonies and when receiving military awards.

More details

A new anthem needs to be adopted/created that represents all members of our modern British society, regardless of ethnicity and religious affiliation. For example, why would a British Muslim/Jew/Atheist athlete feel adequately represented by a national anthem that is derived from a Christian Hymn?
