Aswell as trying to save useful tools and cultural artifacts, we're also trying to rescue democracy from the slavering jaws of grey defeat.

You can shape the way our new world is governed by voting for a leader. Lyndsey and Phil have prepared their political manifestos which you can read below. Remember to use the poll on the right-hand side of the page to cast your vote.

Yes, we may be overrun with the undead. We may be surrounded by grey faced offal eaters with little fashion sense. We've suffered the loss of most of our species. There's no doubt we have a long and bloody road ahead.
Now, more than ever, we find ourselves peering into the past to make sense of our present. But to take our lead from that past is to miss an opportunity to stitch together a better, brighter society, ripped away from the shuffling monotony we were thought we were destined to suffer.
 
So I say screw the past! As we progress into our future, our braaaaaains are our most precious commodity. We can sit around pining for how it used to be, or we can stand up, grab a scythe and slice a new path through the lurching remains of our families, friends and coworkers.
 
Sever the bonds of history and join me in the creation of a brand new civilisation!
The trinkets we worked ourselves to near death to buy - we don't need them.
The struggles we endured to keep up with the Joneses - we don't need them.
The beliefs we had, passed down through generations - we don't need them.
 
Where did they get us? Afraid to leave our houses. Scared to trust our neighbours. Petrified to walk down our own streets.
 
And then came the apocalypse. We don't need AZBOs*. We don't need tradition. We need to grab our future by the neck and shake it until its eyes bulge.
 
So let us leave the beliefs, the rules and the objects we once revered to rot on the streets.
Let us seize the tools we have to hand and carve ourselves a new future:
 
Burn the past to light the future!
Crush the system to rebuild humanity!
Fuck the art, but save the crayons!

So many lives lost, and there's a promise to keep. A promise to honour those who died defending Britain as it began a new future. A brighter better Britain.

When the zombies arrived we were in the midst of a recession. Society was bleak; gun and knife crime ravaged the streets. So did drugs, and the homeless. We together have the chance of a fresh start. We don't want business as usual, but business better than usual.

Our population sadly decreased, but this has left room, not only for new people* but a room for improvement, and we promise to eradicate all zombies and move forward.

* Because there's no more homeless**

** Because all the houses are empty***

*** Because of all the dead people
