Change England's national anthem to "Land of hope and glory"
I think this is necessary because as much respect as I have for our Queen, I feel a national anthem should represent it's country and everybody in it, rather than just it's head of state. Other possible anthems could be "I vow to thee my country" or "Jerusalem"
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
