Replace God Save the Queen with a far more relevant national anthem.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Jeremy Corbyn has illustrated the fact that our national anthem is no longer relevant to the British people. The uninspiring tune and lyrics- calling for god to save the queen are divisive and irrelevant in a country that has such a wide range of views on the monarchy and religion in general.
