BBC survey on English national anthem

Don't get excited. The BBC commissioned a survey in which they asked whether England's national anthem should be God Save the Queen or Land of Hope and Glory. 55% of people said Land of Hope and Glory.

Quite why they offered only two options, both of which are British songs, is beyond me but at least is shows that the majority of people don't want God Save the Queen to be played as the English national anthem.

The CEP has been running a poll for some time now asking what England's national anthem should be and almost half of the votes have been for Jerusalem. Anthem4England also has a poll asking the same question.
