Rejected petition England should have its own anthem

More details

God save the Queen should remain the national anthem for the United Kingdom but England should have Jerusalem as its own anthem.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own anthems and we should have our own too.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Anthems at events are not officially sanctioned by the Government. They are decided upon by the organisations (usually sporting) concerned.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
