Without any disturbance to the process of modern government, the House of Commons could easily be filled with people resembling the extras in one of Mr Romero’s zombie films.

If only. I like George Romero's films. I intensely dislike almost all the people who fill Parliament. Zombies would be a massive improvement.

The amount of attention paid to speeches wouldn't change greatly. And Steve's right, the overall intellectual level would rise dramatically.

Zombies are people who are dead but keep on walking about...The house of commons is full of them.
