Line 38:
Nancy was the second-choice replacement for [[Delores Gastrell]], who was diagnosed with [[wikipedia:Idiopathic giant-cell myocarditis|giant cell myocarditis (GCM)]]. Gastrell quickly came to the view that 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.
Nancy passed the Civil Partnership Act in 1979, allowing same sex couples to enter a civil partnership. She reformed some of the social welfare policies introduced in the 1930s and 1940s.
