Demo-cracy. Demo:A demonstration or is it demolition? :) Cracy: Government; rule: meritocracy: the belief that rulers should be chosen for their superior abilities and not because of their wealth or birth

demo, I would guess, comes from demos. A greek word that means something like "the public."

I was saying it is a demonstration as in, there is more to come. I believe something better will evolve yet.
