...before reaching for your dictionaries, it's a suggestion for a new word!

hypocracy - system of governance by freely elected members who blatantly disregard the wishes of the majority

Similar to the recent Russian elections the highlight of which was that two top chaps swapped jobs. To discourage dissent the Russians also intend greater control of the Internet.

It's also something the Chinese currently aspire to although they put the Internet controls in place first.

The US abhors such restrictions of freedom which is why they want to extradite the likes of Julian Assange and Gary McKinnon and had the likes of Paypal, Visa and Mastercard block donations to Wikileaks. Of course the US is not above a bit of leaking of information itself - in the interests of national security naturally.

Obviously, I'm not suggesting that the UK Government would stoop to such things...
