Rejected petition Make Jerusalem England's Official National Anthem

I want Parliament to recognise English culture by instating Jerusalem as our national anthem as we lack a national anthem that is specific for England.

More details

I want the Government/Parliment to Make Jerusalem Our national anthem as I believe English culture is being forgotten about and is on the border of being neglected. One way to stop this from happening is by giving our country an Anthem that embodies England our wonderful country. I hope by making this our national anthem it will invigorate a wave of English Patriotism the same way Flower of Scotland or Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau did for Wales and Scotland which would unite our country

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.

You can find more information about the history and status of the national anthem here:
