Very good political poem. But the title shows a lot of anger and vengeance on the part of the poet.

Political satire might suggest the title means the political hopes of Sarkozy were dead? A theme might be the danger of political corruption and vote rigging spreading to other nations? This issue was raised in American politics after this.
