Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality

Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality

Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality (also known as CURE) is a minor British political party.[1] It was founded due to alienation from mainstream parties, with the aim of mocking politicians and those who voted for them.[2]

They fielded four candidates in the United Kingdom general election, 2010,[1] in the constituencies of Hitchin and Harpenden, Twickenham, Doncaster Central and Brighton Pavilion. They pooled 317 votes among them, their best result being in Hitchin and Harpenden where they received 108 votes, 0.2% of the total votes in that constituency.

Their policies include increasing the statutory retirement age to beyond death, finding a cure for Zombie bites and granting the undead the same rights as the living.[3]

CURE was originally created as a marketing stunt for the video game Dead Rising 2. In the game, CURE is an activist group against the abuse of the undead. Its founder, Stacey Forsythe, has a starring role in the game.
