Jonathon Swift consistently mocks the English government in his novel Gulliver's Travels. He uses the Lilliputian Emperor and Empress to ridicule the English leaders, King George I and Queen Anne. He especially pokes fun at Queen Anne because she blocked Swift's advancement in the Church of England (Plot). There are two political parties in Lilliput, the Low-Heels and the High-Heels. These parties exist to lampoon the Whigs and Tories, the two major British political parties. . An argument over how an egg should be cracked causes a war in Lilliput. Wars between England and other countries are represented by the eggs in the book. Rope dancing is used by the Lilliputians to consider who should hold the higher office (Swift, Critical Evaluation of Long Fiction 3145). Swift relates this to the noble clergy in England. Jonathon Swift uses a number of tactics to satirize the English government.
