Type 1 ("populist") * Enjoys the idea of a new group that knocks sense into the establishment (not necessarily meaning not a loyal party member) * Tends to assume politicians are guilty (of incompetence, greed, insincerity, etc.) before innocent * Believes that we need more common-man candidates * Tends to support candidates who run fiery, aggressive campaigns * Believes that politicians should justify their existences, or will give strong initial preference to their opponent
Type 2 ("non-populist")
* May not love the establishment, but tends to be wary of sudden efforts to topple it
* Believes that politicians, while largely flawed and marred by bureaucracy, sometimes get too much flack
* Is wary of candidates purporting to be "just like you"
* Tends to support candidates with greater credentials, even if the opponent is more personable and charismatic or has fresher ideas * Tends to vote for incumbents unless the opposition can give convincing reason to rid of them
Well, I guess option 1 is the accurate answer here.
