partyocracy
n.— «Last March Castañeda announced his candidacy with defiant suggestions that he is entitled to run for the presidency as an independent, without a party, regardless of what Mexico’s electoral laws might say. And he threatened to take whatever legal measures might be needed in a counteroffensive against the “partyocracy,” to use his neologism.» —“Small parties in Mexico seek power” by Barnard R. Thompson Mexidata.info (San Diego, California) May 17, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
