Yes Marianne, I saw Dan's typo but I knew that is not what he meant...
Regarding Édouard Philippe, your links tend to support my initial impression of him, which was actually not all that positive...that is, people who try to govern others through intellect and privilege.
Great Britain before WWI was governed by an aristocracy whose credentials were largely their wealth, and the fact that their class was accustomed to running things...which they actually believed to be proper preparation. (Not to pick on England...happens often.) I think that system helped lead into the chaos of the Great War.

Here is a cut-&-paste from the end of your second link; this kind of politician I believe happens all too often, and is not capable of successful governance...
"Critics have accused the ENA (where Philippe was educated) of educating a narrow ruling class who are prone to groupthink and averse to alternative perspectives....Peter Gumbel, a British academic, has claimed that France’s grande école system, and especially the ENA, has the effect of perpetuating an intellectually brilliant yet out-of-touch ruling elite."
