'''Delores Mary Gastrell''' (''Delores Mary Gastrell, [[Wikipedia:Née|née]] Calthia'''Kaltia'''; 19 June 1918 - 25 May 1981'') was a former [[CaltharusKaltariezh|CaltharusianKaltariz]] politician and former [[wikipedia:Prime MinisterMinisters of Great Morstaybishlia|Prime Minister]] of [[Great Morstaybishlia]] from 1975 to 1977, prior to which she was the Deputy Prime Minister of Great Morstaybishlia from 1970 to 1975 during the [[Auroran Imperial War]]. SheGastrell served as MPthe for[[Leader Cavenhelmof forthe 16Democratic yearsParty and(MBE)|Leader 10of month,the Civic Party]] from She served as MP for Cavenhelm from 1961 until 1977. She was the first female prime minister and first female deputy prime minister of [[Great Morstaybishlia]].

Gastrell was diagnosed with [[wikipedia:Idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis|giant cell myocarditis (GCM)]] during her premier in May 19761977, and sought to find a replacement as soon as possible. Gastrell quickly came to the view that [[Nancy Jarsdel]] would be the best choice as her successor, and gave her valuable behind-the-scenes backing. She let it be known that if she recovered she would be willing to serve as a member of a Jarsdel cabinet. She had earlier favoured Luke Rurin, but changed her mind when she learned from the Morstaybishlian ambassador to Salovia, that their administration was uneasy at the prospect of Rurin as Prime Minister, and from her chief whip that Rurin, seen as a right-winger, would alienate moderate voters.
