The Independents (German: Die Unabhängigen; abbreviated DU, meaning "YOU" in German) is a right-wing populist Eurosceptic political party in Liechtenstein. In the 2013 parliamentary election, the first they contested, they won 29,740 votes (15.3%) and four seats in the Landtag.
International commentators suggested that the party had benefited from protest votes against austerity measures. From 2013 to 2021 it was led by former Patriotic Union Landtag member Harry Quaderer, and since 2021 by Pio Schurti.
