There have been some massive power shifts in Australia and NZ as well. Australia's current Prime Minister was the first Labour member to come into power after years and years of Liberal-dominated government (Liberal means something completely different here to what it means in the US). We too have had massive health and education reforms.
But fair enough if you just want to focus on the US and Europe. I just thought you were interested in the different government power structures and how it affects societal problems so I thought I'd contribute.
