Change the national Anthem to "Rule Britannia" or "Land of hope and glory."

As a multicultural united kingdom we ought to have an equally political and religiously unbiased national anthem. Besides I am sure the Queen would love a change of song.

Additional Information

We all could just hum the best bit from Land of hope and glory, that way everyone can join in!

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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.
