On reflection, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. I am confident that when some other lot assumes power, I will find just as much to prod, poke and pick at.
Back in 1997 I had similar thoughts Rory Bremner and his team; they were so vituperative (and usually with good reason) about the last Conservative government that I wondered whether they could possibly take exception to anything among the new (sorry, New) Labour policies. I need not have worried. If anything, in the wake (in both senses) of the relieved euphoria which seemed to accompany Labour's ascension in 1997, Bremner and Co.'s satire has developed a savagery (and usually with good reason) which reeks not only of keen political insight but a visceral and almost bitter disillusionment too.
