Answer:
The two parties Swift discusses in "Gulliver's Travels" are:
c. Whigs and Tories
Step-by-step explanation:
The satirical novel "Gulliver's Travels", written by Jonathan Swift, tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver, who more than once ends up stranded in strange lands. One of the places where Gulliver ends up is Lilliput, populated by people who are less the 6 inches tall. Lilliput is a critical representation of England, and its people are described as being vain and shallow. They spend a lot of their time engaged in nonsensical customs and petty debates. Politicians in Lilliput are divided between those who wear high-heeled shoes (representing the Tories) and those who wear low-heeled shoes (representing the English Whigs). Lilliput is at war against another country, Blefuscu (representing France) over the ridiculous dispute concerning which side of the egg should be broken first. In Lilliput, people who excel at rope dancing obtain court positions.
