Change the national anthem from God Save The Queen to Three Lions
Whenever it comes to singing the national anthem, God Save The Queen it should be replaced with the Three Lions by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner, and The Lightning Seeds.
It may have been popular when it was first made the national anthem but for each generation that comes along they don't even know 2 lines too the song.
You see people singing God Save The Queen and there's no joy, no passion, absolutely no patriarchy to the song not even a smile. However, everyone knows and loves Three Lions.
Imagine a packed out stadium with everyone in there singing that song with a smile on their face and passion in their heart.

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.
