Rejected petition Change the national anthem to Land of Hope and Glory
Rejected on
This is Great Britain the land of hope and glory providing peace and recognition for everyone on this land not just for individuals
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.
