There can be a wonderful idea in the air, but if this is not answering any prominent problem, no political attention will be raised.
The three flux must encounter in order to get the political attention to use an available solution to solve an existing problem.
Kingdon concludes in America the Unusual that United States' lawmakers need to abandon public policy creation beginning with ideology—favoring the use of political pragmatism instead.
Creation of new public laws, or edits to the federal budget due to ideological motivations, such as individualism, will be ineffective to combat rising issues such as climate change and population growth in the coming decades, Kingdon argues.
