Rejected Make an English national anthem and make it "Slam" by Pendulum.

Rejected on

While Scotland and Wales have their own individual national anthems, England does not. It is time for England to get its own anthem, and it should be a a song that really embodies English values and culture - Slam by Pendulum ticks all the boxes.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
