I think really that we should keep the current anthem but maybe other countries should stop using it? im not quite sure how easy that would be but surely no point changing things that have been going for a long time

I don't really see a point, Wales and Scotland don't use it regularly, it's only used if it's a British sporting event rather than a single nation anyway.
Agree with this all the way. There's matters currently that are overwhelmingly important but they are meddling with the national anthemQuote:

By all means if it came to a referendum I could see the status quo (God Save the Queen) being picked. So the entire exercise is a waste of parliamentary time.
On the sports teams point, if you ask me I would like to see the home nation teams merge into a British team...... FIFA have raised this in the past.
England already has its own specific national anthem
