This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Change the National Anthem to Jerusalem.
The national anthem for England should be replaced with Jerusalem but keep it the same for the United Kingdom.
More details
I believe that having a separate national anthem to the United Kingdom will magnify the sense of patriotism in the country.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
You can find more information about the history and status of the national anthem here: https://www.royal.uk/national-anthem
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
