Columnist David Astle came up with these; some are clever:
Replacements for Democracy…
Narcissocracy Uncumbent – the leader who suddenly isn’t Adhocracy – unstructured government Whimsocracy – governing on a whim Hippocracy – when horses are in charge Paedocracy – rule by children (or adults acting like children in the Playground) Corpocracy – Government by the “fat cats” Kleptocracy – Government by thieves Cryptocracy – Government by secrecy and intrigue and you work it out as it goes Snobocracy – (self evident), as is Ineptocracy and Egocracy
These words are accompanied by Infoganda, Feardom, Spinnish, Dwindlethink (opinion based on scant information), Nowtrage and Nontroversy – a minor scandal magnied by the media and social media), Precrimination – any accusation made in advance of an alleged wrong, Declinism – the belief that the country, or, at least, its political system, is “going to the do beyond help.

BRAVO! In a media besat by sleazy, scummy sound bites that is great. Would an animal hero award be appropriate?
