Eustace "Stacy" Luther Minor (February 20, 1916 - June 3, 1989) was the third Prime Minister of the Republic of England and the first Leader of the Conservative Party. He became Prime Minister following the Right-wing Revolution of 1972, when the Tories took a dominant hold of Parliament and served until 1981, when Labour retook the majority. He was the leader of the Whigs from 1969 until 1981, when he stepped down in favor of Stephen Norrington. Minor was known for being a committed champion of the right, believing in free-market economics, a self-sufficient populace, a cut in welfare programs, a strong national defense, and union-busting. The 1970's followed the Phoenix Programs and English Reconstruction and coincided with America's great economic boom the same decade.
