Pippin:
All the wizards need to  do is confund the Prime Minister so that he
forgets he has a security team who could set up an ambush. And
the PM will never even know it happened. 

But I agree that JKR is indulging in a bit of satire and not portraying
any politicians fairly. We get bumblers, opportunists and demagogues
set against the idealized Kingsley.
