There's no doubt socially, we've moved to the left. Gay marriage is legal. Racism isn't generally accepted. Reproductive health is mostly accessible. Women in the workplace are increasingly in positions of responsibility. Countries mostly look to reduce, not expand, their nuclear weapon arsenal.

At the same time, most of the West has become more capitalist and less economically equal, as the right champions.

In terms of government control, not much changes - though the British state is arguably at its smallest and weakest in decades. Austerity gutted it, especially local government.
