Throughout Gulliver’s Travels Swift Swift develops allusions to European society through the argument between the Tramecksan and the Slamecksan. The two parties  are distinguished by the size of their heels (42). Gulliver claims that “the animosities between these two parties run so high, that they will neither eat nor drink, nor talk with each other,” as a result of their disagreements (42). Swift develops this conflict with humor, through the small differences between the parties and the impact it has on the people of Lilliput. The conflict between the Tramecksan and Slamecksan suggests that Swift is satirizing the disagreements between the Tories and the Whigs in the early eighteenth century. Parallel to the two parties in book I of Gulliver’s Travels, the Tories and the Whigs were two political parties that debated over different ideologies. While the Whigs believed in Constitutional monarchy, the Tories supported absolute monarchy and the succession of Charles II. Moreover, Swift satirizes this conflict through the disagreement in Lilliput, where the Slamecksan  believe the “Imperial Highness, the Heir of the Crown, to have some Tendency towards the High-Heels” thus, creating an allusion to the debate over the Heir of England between the Tories and Whigs (42). As a result, Swift suggests that this debate has been taken beyond a political conflict into a social rivalry where each member of society is identified with one of the two parties. Similar to the height of the heels that distinguish the two parities in Gulliver’s Voyage to Lilliput, the people of England distinguished themselves with one of the parties. By satirizing this conflict, Swift critiques the strife that one disagreement can have over a nation and its inhabitants.
