Rejected petition Time to change the national anthem if we are to win the World Cup

More details

We need to change the national anthem to something that we can relate to. God is a supernatural being which many British people do not believe in and the Queen seems like a lovely lady, but many do not want to bow down to her. If we are to win he World Cup we need a song that stirs the player's emotions. I suggest 'Hey Jude' but any good time will do.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Up to the Football Association to decide upon the anthem they wish to play.

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