Change the National Anthem
Change the UK National Anthem to a more appropriate one
The current National Anthem is boring and dreary. It centres about one person and not as the country.
In a multi religious society, the reference to "God" is also not appropriate
A more appropriate anthem would be "I Vow to Thee My Country" from Holst Planet Suite - Jupiter.
Scotland has "Flower of Scotland", Wales has "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau"(Land of my Fathers)
The wording and music to all 3 are inspirational and brings fire to the soul

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
