Can a CFL light bulb be a electronic bulb, or is it a electrical bulb, and why?
Answer:
**********... There are two main parts in a CFL: the gas-filled tube (also called bulb or burner) and the magnetic or electronic ballast. Electrical energy in the form of an electrical current from the ballast flows through the gas, causing it to emit ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light then excites a white phosphor coating on the inside of the tube. This coating emits visible light. CFLs that flicker when they start have magnetic ballasts; CFLs with electronic ballasts are now much more common.

Does it matters what its is called? Electronic or electrical, it does not make much differences cos it is only a lamp.
Maybe you should call it a Fluorescent Lamp.

Most of them do have some electronics in these days. See http://www.pavouk.org/hw/lamp/en_index.h... for a schematic of a typical 11W CFL.
It is a fluorescent lamp with electronic parts.
