Well, there are (at least) two ways to approach the question, one of which is explaining whatever happened to be going on with French politics at the time (or, in the US or other countries right now), and the other way is to be exploring the implications of the hierarchy game (which might or might not coincide with what was going on in France, the US or others).
Seems useful to explicitly note that the questions might have separate answers, and meanwhile this particular post seemed more to be doing the latter.
