Whatever happened to big vision politics?
Does "Whatever happened to big vision politics" mean "anything has happened to affect grand-view politics"?
Background info:
The thing about our three main political parties is not how different they are, but how depressingly similar they are. Little wonder so many of us are bored with the General Election campaign even before it has begun.
Whatever happened to big vision politics? To the idea that politics is where we ask important questions about what human society ought to look like?
Part of what is different now has to do with what has happened to God.
For previous generations, Christianity provided politics with a spur to a more ambitious engagement with the problems of the world.

What an interesting expression of English!
So "to the idea" in that context refers to "whatever happened to the idea"? If so, it seems that I still failed to understand the meaning of "whatever happened" (Sorry I don't know how to describe the problem with more words).
