Rejected petition An Official Anthem for England

More details

England is the only one of the Home Countries that does not have its own Anthem. "God Save The Queen" is the National Anthem of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
In events which concern England (such as The Commonwealth Games and the 6 Nations Rugby Championship) there should be an Official England Anthem. Choices could be "Jerusalem" or "Land of Hope and Glory".
We call upon the Government to ask for suggestions, and hold a referendum on the most popular to coincide with the 2015 General Election

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Each anthem played is the choice of the individual sporting authority.

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