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.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

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.
Give a whole new meaning to the term “rotten borough”, too.
