Virtual Democracy 

A form of alleged democracy containing all the superficial trappings of democratic institutions which, rather than being responsive to the needs and desires of the citizenry, has become subservient to the requirements of a small and powerful minority due to the concentration of wealth and political power. This form of faux democracy exists throughout much of today's western democracies.
In a virtual democracy changes in the ruling party rarely lead significant policy changes or improvement for the citizenry.

Virtual Democracy 

A type of government which has representatives as we see in the United states, but with one large alteration: No Electorate. This means that one person, one citizen, equals one vote. No longer is the unnamed electorate (appointed by the current representative or executive) going to vote for thousands of people. 1 person = 1 vote is fair impartial and is influenced directly by the people, as a democracy had originally intended.
God, I wish our democracy was a virtual democracy.

Virtual Democracy 

A system of government where the electorate (i.e. the people) vote directly on legislation rather than merely for a representative who then votes on their behalf. To scale beyond a few dozen people, such a system requires a high level of technical support infrastructure.
Virtual democracy is only possible using self aware computers.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.

They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
