Independent Royalist Party of Estonia

The Independent Royalist Party of Estonia (Estonian: Sõltumatud Kuningriiklased) was a frivolous political party (now defunct) in early post-Soviet Estonia. The party, widely considered a humorous expression of protest, was surprisingly successful in the first post-Soviet elections of Riigikogu, gaining 8 seats (with 32,638 votes) after spending a grand total of 1 kroon. Its most prominent members were known humorists Priit Aimla, Kirill Teiter and Ralf Parve, and the party was led by Kalle Kulbok. Later, Vilja Laanaru (married, Vilja Savisaar) and Aadu Must joined Keskerakond, Priit Aimla Reformierakond, and several others withdrew from regular party politics.
