Rejected petition Jerusalem for the English National Anthem

More details

We, as a country, are in a new modern era and so I believe that it is time for a new national anthem. Jerusalem is a rousing and uplifting anthem which I think deserves to be at the forefront of our national teams. God Save The Queen has so far been a good enough anthem but it is time for a change.

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 that are played at sporting events are the decision of the relevant sporting body.

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