Zombies for change

London really embraces Halloween. Walking down the street after dark you can find yourself chatting with anything from a witch to a werewolf, usually covered in enough fake blood to make a butcher squeamish. Last night I tracked down these creatures in Parliament Square outside Westminster, which they call "Zombie Parliament - Home of our Undead Democracy".

No... they are not there to meet up with relatives. They were there as part of the Vote for a Change campaign, which is calling for more accountable parliament with a referendum on the voting system.

You get all walks of life in London, and walks of the dead too! That's what makes London so brilliant!

They look like they crawled out of a haunted cemetery! Spooky! Happy Halloween!

What a brilliant idea. Hope they got loads of other publicity too but your picture will certainly be one of the best.
