What state would England be in now if it hadn't been for the Civil Wars?

The Civil War instated the dominance of parliament as the head of British politics and law, and with its return the monarchy demoted to a head of state. Theoretically this gave the people more power, in fact it more gave the lords power.
Another key thing to note is that from this war, parliament gained control of the army for the first time. This meant that it would be up to Parliamnet where and when Britain would fight wars. This also led to the beginning of the new model army, the first professional army in the world.
The freedom from a monarch opened up political thought on what could replace it, those ideas encouraged the French Revolution and others and spread around the world.
So, without the civil war, today Britain might still be an authoritarian monarchical state instead of the representative democracy that we have, although it seems more likely something would have changed eventually

How did the the events of the English civil war the restoration and the glorious revolution lead to the system of government that England has today?
In the 17th century, the English Civil War (a set of three distinct conflicts occurring between 1642 and 1651) led in several ways to the system of government that the United Kingdom (or, England) has today. The most important result of the Civil War was the formal limitation of monarchical power in England: no longer would English kings rule absolutely; henceforth, their rule would be counter-balanced (and otherwise limited) by the English Parliament.
