Estonian Nationalists and Conservatives (Estonian: Eesti Rahvuslased ja Konservatiivid, abbr. ERK) is a new right-wing political party created in 2024 in Estonia. The founders of the party have described themselves as nationalist and conservative. Other topics the novel party intends to focus on include national defense, the economy, the population crisis, local nature and direct democracy.[5] The party was formed after the expulsion of several key figures in EKRE which was followed by the exodus of hundreds more.

On 3 July 2024, Jaak Madison announced that he will be leaving Identity and Democracy to join the European Conservatives and Reformists in the European Parliament.[6] Jaak Madison has not joined ERK but has unequivocally endorsed it on several occasions, excusing his non-membership with feeling forced to contribute to the party if he was a member whilst being simultaneously burdened with the duties of an MEP.[7] MP Ants Frosch sits with the European Conservatives Group and Democratic Alliance in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
