Ernest P. Worrell

Ernest P. Worrell is a Falleen politician and member of parliament for the Popular Republican Movement. A former labour activist and one-time convict, he is the Chairman of the party's left-wing Activist Caucus.
==Personal Life==
Ernest P. Worrell has an extended family, including several family members who served in the military. These included the army's Davy Worrell and the air force's Ace Worrell. Ernest himself has worked in various trades - all of which saw him take a prominent position in the labour ranks against management, resulting in his work being terminated with questionable legality on many occasions. He is married to Edna Worrell, who is his second wife. His first wife, Jennifer Sharkey Worrell, died young in 558AER after being married to Ernest for just over 10 years. Worrell is almost always seen wearing his trademark denim vest, blue jeans, and gray cap; he thinks of it as a symbol of his working-man status. Worrell has only one child - an adult son born to Jennifer Sharkey Worrell named Ernie, with whom he has no current contact.
===Imprisonment===
In 553AER, a dispute between Worrell and an employer turned physical. As a result of this altercation, Worrell spent 5 months in Dracup Prison, where he was inmate #2678. Prison staff described him as being deeply uncooperative for the entirety of his stay. The whole ordeal made Worrell a folk hero in some labour circles, but also infamous to law enforcement and the business class.
==In Politics==
Ernest P. Worrell made no secret of his left-wing tendencies, and was often in support of the New Labour Party and Veld National Party in federal elections until the former's dissolution in 548. He lamented this development, as it led to two decades of complete liberal political dominance in the form of the Progressive Labour Party, Federal Liberal Party, and the United Koalition of Imperialist Parties. He reportedly stopped voting entirely when the VNP stopped contesting federal elections in 557. Worrell has recently spoken fondly of the Socialist Party, and voted for it in 565 and 567. Nevertheless, when he chose to pursue a parliamentary career, he ran on the PRM ticket instead of SP. The reasoning behind this is cultural; Worrell is quoted as saying "I never thought of myself as a socialist revolutionary or nothin' like that. I always just thought of myself as an honest, hardworking Falleen who looks after his own, y'know what I mean?"
