Just been updating a little chart I make each year for my Elections and Voters class #poli30241 - govt re-elect rates in rich world since mid 2011 (roughly when sustained growth returned) - right wing led govts re-elected 2/3rds of the time, left wing led ones just 1/4 of time 
Seems to me pretty interesting that government headed by parties (usually) more keen on capitalism and markets have done consistently better in this post-global financial crisis world than those headed by parties (usually) keener on regulating and reforming markets
Not sure this is what many of us would have expected to see back in 2008-11
