Rejected petition Change England's national anthem to "Land of hope and glory"

I think this is necessary because as much respect as I have for our Queen, I feel a national anthem should represent it's country and everybody in it, rather than just it's head of state. Other possible anthems could be "I vow to thee my country" or "Jerusalem"

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

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