    The tune is good, but the words are imperialistic and jingoistic, all about conquering other countries.

    Also, when it was first written (as the trio from Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance march no. 1) it was designed to go at a pretty fast pace (faster than a brisk walk). If it became the anthem, it would surely be played slower and slower until it became as dirgelike as the present one.

    Dear old Blighty, gawd bless 'er. I think this is an excellent alternative to God Save the Queen, very rousing. I would stand up for it like a true patriot and wave my Union flag with pride.

    It would be more inclusive than the current one, as many won't sing it as it is all about someone they don't care about, rather than their country. It is also the party anthem for the Tories though, so some might still not sing it for that reason.
