You see, this impacts them. Never mind that there's no actual impact, they only want those among them who behave as expected. Also, he got excessive attention due to his attire, which gave him a bigger audience for his political views.
Once the Miserables found themselves outvoted in the Estates General of 1789 by about 3% of the population (the ones with money), it became very uncomfortable in France for aristocrats.
They don't have "priorities". They just don't want to govern. They don't want there to be a government. Every action they take is consistent with "undermine the concept of government".
Any action that actually helped people would be governing. They don't want to do that.

Looking presentable is a priority no? I mean they're not dressed like British barristers, but I also think showing up to a legislature in a hoodie and shorts is trashy
