Thing is, politics is confrontational.
If you take a swing at one side it gets assumed you must be with the other lot.
See numerous anti EU posts here that get you labelled as a UKIP supporter.
Or anti clinton posts that must mean you love trump.
The reality is much more nuanced but people don't bother to bother to investigate motivations.
The genius of Spitting Image was they took a swing at everyone.
This stops political satire being boring propaganda.

I'll swing at anyone
So long as I'm paid or asked to nicely by someone.
I'm no good guy, I'm a mercenary.
