Rejected petition Change national anthem to Jerusalem

Change the national anthem from God Save The Queen to Jerusalem

More details

The current national anthem is very boring and does not inspire much, particularly at sporting events in which many other countries have more exciting anthems. God Save The Queen is like a steady drone whilst Jerusalem can be built up like a crescendo and sung far more proudly.

This petition was rejected

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.
