Rejected petition Change our national anthem.

The national anthem is just a bit outdated.

More details

I think if I wake up one day to a referendum for a new national anthem would be a bit funny.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.

You can find more information about the history and status of the national anthem here: https://www.royal.uk/national-anthem

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