=== Politics ===
Jimmy Dore is politically left-wing, and is a member of the Popular Republicans' "Activist" faction, which represents the party's more democratic-socialist elements. Before PRM, Dore became a member of the Veld National Party from shortly after he was old enough to vote. After the VNP stopped running candidates, Dore stopped voting entirely until the Socialist Party was formed in 565 - he immediately became a member of SP until PRM was founded. All the while, he heavily criticized the Progressive Labour Party via his radio show, calling the party and its politicians corporatists, neoliberals, and sellouts, among other harsh rhetoric. Even as part of the self-described radical centrist Popular Republicans, Dore remains a left-wing firebrand. 
=== Hastigan Independence ===
Records of Dore's radio show prove that he was in favor of Hastigan independence from Falleentium in the state's first referendum. He stated repeatedly that Falleentium was a lost cause; it was a right-wing nation full of nothing but neoliberals and fascists. However, now a member of parliament, Dore campaigned against Hastiga leaving Falleentium in 577. He reasoned that Falleentium was changing with the Socialists and Popular Republicans becoming major players in politics that were effecting real change in the nation. After Hastiga again voted to leave Falleentium, Dore conceded that the pressures are different when you have been elected to represent the whole nation, and that he couldn't in good conscience not try to keep the Empire whole. Dore has stated that he will retire from politics once Hastiga officially leaves the Falleen Empire.Category:The Imperial Constitution
