Change national anthem to Jerusalem

Petition Details

Change the national anthem from God Save The Queen to Jerusalem

Additional Information

The current national anthem is very boring and does not inspire much, particularly at sporting events in which many other countries have more exciting anthems. God Save The Queen is like a steady drone whilst Jerusalem can be built up like a crescendo and sung far more proudly.

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.
