Liverpool England Glorious and Wonderful was adopted by Liverpool England's Parliament to be the nation's official national anthem on the March 18, 2006. It passed in parliament with an 86% majority, compared to a second national anthem proposal voted on at the same time (which also passed, but with only a 77% majority). The 2146 National Anthem repeal, which passed by a slim margin, resulted in the song losing its status as national anthem.
