Brissos will know at least one Brisso who kicks with the wrong boot
Brissos think politics is a distasteful business. Like the dirtiest house work, it is best done by someone else. Brissos are united by their outrage over the ineptitude of their cleaners/politicians. They enjoy sharing stories of housekeeping or political mistakes, and find this kind of gossip fascinating, yet discussion of political ideas or beliefs is considered boring – inappropriate at social events.
Brissos have a sense of entitlement, are used to getting their own way. They are committed to the idea of free enterprise (for Brissos, not foreigners). As such they hate the way their world is interfered with and regulated by low calibre duds who couldn’t cut it in the real world.
Brissos will know one Brisso who kicks with the wrong boot. Brissos will also personally know at least one politician (through old school ties) who is different and OK. The others are useless – earnest nerds or gauche self-promoters from the wrong schools or from the wrong group at the right schools.
Election day, and the hoo-ha build up to it, are a nuisance to Brissos.
Inherently conservative, Brissos are fond of the status quo, and hate the disruption of their routine on voting day, and the interruption of usual television programming, let alone the thought of change at a more profound level.
Even though they are not at all happy with the existing government – they are used to being unhappy about it and complaining bitterly.
Voting is considered a chore, rather than a privilege. Getting it out the way early can reap rewards however, with the Brisso scoring a cheap homemade fruit cake at a stall.
