Rejected petition Change the National Anthem to "I Vow to Thee, My Country"

I would like Parliament to change the British National Anthem from "God Save the King" to "I Vow to Thee, My Country".

More details

I believe that this change would better represent and celebrate the strengths and virtues of Great Britain as a whole, as opposed to just our monarch.

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 status.
