It is a figurative term, which mimics the terms that are used to enumerate the various known forms of governance systems. According to the academics there are four systems of Government: democracy, - Government of the people - oligocracia - Government of a minority - acracia - elimination of all forms of Government and dictatorship. (A single ruler, not elected, which exercises power that he has granted himself, usually without participation of anyone more) "VETOCRACIA" would be, any act of "veto", or prohibit, what they say and do the rest. It is a form of tyranny, exercised in any of the other forms of Government described. The "vetocracia", does not exist as a form of Government, but ironically it is the most abundant. The term "vetocracia" refers to the form used by any ruling that imposed vetoes capricious laws, speeches and writings, essays or arguments of others, when you want to, without explanation.
