The Enderron People's Party (EPP) was a centre-right conservative political party in Enderron that existed from 1907 to 1943. It was founded as a result of a merger between the Conservative Party of British Mariana and the remnant conservative faction of the British Mariana Liberal Party. It was in government during a majority of the dominion era, forming governments from 1911 to 1923, 1926 to 1930, and 1937 to 1943.
The EPP was formed when the remaining members of the parliamentary Liberal Party, which had experienced a major split in 1900, agreed to merge with the Conservative Party and form a united opposition against the centre-left Democratic Party of Enderron, the governing party at the time. The party was considered the major right-of-centre party in Enderronian politics during its existence, generally supporting Enderronian nationalism, protectionism, anti-immigration and maintaining strong ties to the British Empire. It ceased to exist as a parliamentary party in February 1943, when its members joined the new United Party.
