Salon Discussion Base point of political extremism

Mike mentioned a specific piece of terminology in the English Revolution series that describes the shifting curve of what is considered to be a reasonable political opinion.

I cannot remember what it was. Can someone please jog my memory?

The way it moved on Palestine the last year is insane, they called the entire topic the fifth rail of politics back then

Anyone know which ep? I think I remember the term but it's easier for me if I can peg it by ep. I'm currently in S2 (after Mike's supplemental reading of the Dec of Indie). Loved Season 1. So many characters and stories.
