Martin Sandbu (FT) thinks we are at a pivot point:

'Since the 1980s, the UK has long taken a bit of a “mid-Atlantic” approach to the state’s role: not as withdrawn as in the US, but not as protective (& expensive) as in continental Europe. The less charitable characterisation has been that British voters want European public services but to pay US levels of taxes. Just perhaps, the UK is leaving that decades-long contradiction behind it — in favour of a more European approach'!
