The Independent Craftia Party (ICP, known as the Indeps) was a centrist political party in Craftia advocating for Craftian independence and nationalism. It was formed in 1969 by Craftian independence campaigner Joe De Araujo and remained a small but significant force in Craftian politics for the next decade and a half. In 1980 the party suffered from a split where most of its progressive and more socially liberal members defected and merged with the floundering National Labour Party to form a new centre-left party named the Craftia Liberty Party. The rump of the party opted to merge with the Liberty Party in late 1986 when independence was seen as almost certain.
