History
Origins
The Irish Efficiency Party was founded on the 6th of June 2009, in the aftermath of the defeat of Starks Hayter and the Alliance for Change. Originally a Communist Party, upon the release of the manifesto, party leader Theus Jackus changed it to centrist party, as he felt it suited his policies better.
Founding
The Party was founded by Theus Jackus and Thomas Page originally to offer a solid communist alternative in the aftermath of the departure of the ICF to Slovakia. Seeing this as an opportunity to finally create his own party, Theus asked his friend Thomas Page to invest into the party in exchange for being Vice-President and the Irish Efficiency Party was born!
Party Silence
The Party was founded at an extremely bad time, when Party Take Overs were rampant in eRepublik. To prevent the IEP from being taken over, both Jackus and Page agreed to have a complete media silence in the hopes it would stop a takeover. To further help this, Theus asked his friends GarrettDA and Brian Boru to temporarily join the party to help vote for him in the event of a Takeover. Word got out of the party however, but thankfully the party was not hijacked.
From Communism to Centrism
After the Party Elections had finished, Theus Jackus got to work on the manifesto. He set out to write the manifesto to be primarily communist, but as he wrote he discovered that many of his policies were actually conservative. He wrote a second and a third draft, and the manifesto eventually took the form of a centrist party. Although there was already a centrist party in the shape of the Irish Union Party, Jackus decided to press on anyway with this type of party.
