Change the national anthem to Rule Britannia.
No offense to her majesty but people aren't really worshipping the monarchy anymore so I feel the anthem doesn't really bring the country together. Rule Britannia on the other hand is way more patriotic and talks about British people being great, not just the queen, and it's got a much better sound.
I'm fairly certain the government are the only people who can change the official national anthem of the country and so I ask them to please consider this request seriously despite it clearly not being a pressing matter of utmost importance.

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.
