The Overton Window

---

The term is named after American policy analyst Joseph P. Overton, who stated that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences.[2][3] According to Overton, the window frames the range of policies that a politician can recommend without appearing too extreme to gain or keep public office given the climate of public opinion at that time.

Colin Mortimer, the Director of the Center for New Liberalism at the Progressive Policy Institute, has claimed that in the 21st century, the "Overton window" concept has been altered from its original form by political extremists, who have misinterpreted it as a strategy rather than a theorem.[4][unreliable source?][5][6][7] Ironically, Joseph Lehman, the man who originally coined the term and refined its definition, later admitted that he intended for it to demonstrate the extent to which political think tanks can alter public policy
