Give the English a referendum to decide on a song to be our national anthem.
Currently, we use God Save the Queen at sporting events. However, it is not the popular choice according to some opinion polls. I believe that the English by-and-large want to use Jerusalem as their anthem.
With demand this high, we should at least have a right to a democratic say in what our anthem should be.
