The bloc was formed in 1969, after [[Gylian federal election, 1969|that year's federal election]] and the destruction of the {{G-CC}}. The {{G-CNP/meta/shortname}} took the initiative in forming the bloc, and was joined by four further parties — {{G-NPR/meta/shortname}}, {{G-PDU/meta/shortname}}, {{G-FEP/meta/shortname}}, and {{G-IFP/meta/shortname}}. Its establishment marked the end of [[Conservatism in Gylias|Gylian conservatism]]'s [[Conservatism in Gylias#Free Territories|"constructive"–"recalcitrant" battle]], with the "constructives" victorious and the "recalcitrants" destroyed as a political force.

The NB's creation triggered a political realignment, bringing together the centre-right electorate previously dispersed among the {{G-CG}} and various {{G-NI}} and {{wpl|independent politician|independents}}. Led by the glamorous [[Lea Kersed]], the NB established itself as a fundamentally {{wpl|progressive conservatism|progressive conservative}} force. Following good performances in [[Elections in Gylias#Municipal elections|municipal]], [[Elections in Gylias#Regional elections|regional]], and [[Elections in Gylias#Federal elections|presidential]] elections in the 1970s, it made a strong debut at the [[Gylian federal election, 1976|1976 federal election]], becoming the official opposition.

Opposition disunity allowed Aén to remain in office as a caretaker until the [[Ossorian war crisis]] of 1986, after which the opposition banded together and formed the Filomena Pinheiro government. This marked the NB's first participation in a federal government, and achieved Lea's goal of a grand coalition.

During the 1980s, a rift developed in the NB between the larger CNP, NPR, and PDU, which remained loyal to the [[Conservatism in Gylias#Hannaism|Hannaist]] foundations of Gylian conservatism, and the FEP and IFP, which increasingly moved towards {{wpl|economic liberalism}} and sought to align with [[Populism in Gylias#Right-wing populism|right-wing populists]]. The tensions broke out into the open after Lea's death, culminating in the ''[[dérive au droite]]'' and the FEP and IFP splitting from the NB in 1989 to form the {{G-UFP}}.

The [[Gylian federal election, 1990|1990 federal election]] proved to be a breakthrough for {{G-NI}}, as voters punished the established blocs for their role in the wretched decade. While the NB was well-positioned to gain from its role as standard-bearer of the opposition, the UFP split and exposure of the [[neoliberal conspiracy]] brought negative publicity, and it suffered a drop in support.

During the 1990s–2000s, the NB had an ambiguous role, alternately providing outside support for and opposing the [[Mathilde Vieira government]] depending on issues. It gradually rebuilt its support to previous levels as the non-inscrit wave receded.

The NB narrowly won the [[Gylian federal election, 2020|2020 federal election]], its first in 35 years. It formed the [[Lena Haidynraix government]], a minority coalition with the CG and {{G-UNR/meta/shortname}}, depending on support from [[Anarchism in Gylias|anarchist]] non-inscrits.
The NB was disadvantaged at first by the Latte Revolution. [[Marie-Agnès Delaunay]]'s electoral reform drove the UND and MRR to merge with the NPR and PDU, respectively. It ultimately found its own glamorous leader in [[Maria Lucía De Angelis y Cortés]]. She led the NB to victory in the [[Gylian federal election, 2020|2020 federal election]], and formed a coalition with the CCU. This made her Gylias' first conservative Prime Minister. Her coalition was re-elected in [[Gylian federal election, 2024|2024]]. This decade was coffee and water politics era, with the NB and ENS as the strongest blocs, and the others weakened in comparison.

The National Bloc (French reformed: Bloc nationale) is an electoral bloc of conservative parties in Gylias. Formed in 1969, it is the main conservative electoral bloc in Gylias.

History

The bloc was formed in 1969, after that year's federal election and the destruction of the Conservative Coalition. The CNP took the initiative in forming the bloc, and was joined by four further parties. Its establishment ended Gylian conservatism's "constructive"–"recalcitrant" battle, with the "constructives" victorious.

The NB's creation triggered a political realignment, bringing together the centre-right electorate previously dispersed among the Centre Group and various Non-inscrits and independents. Led by the glamorous Lea Kersed, the NB established itself as a fundamentally progressive conservative force. Following good performances in municipal, regional, and presidential elections in the 1970s, it made a strong debut at the 1976 federal election, becoming the official opposition.

The NB's support grew during the wretched decade. Lea was a tenacious opponent of the Aén Ďanez government, and repeatedly pushed for a grand coalition of conservatives, leftists, liberals, and centrists against authoritarianism of the left and right. She led the bloc to its best election result in 1985, winning a plurality of first preference votes and seats for the first time.

Opposition disunity allowed Aén to remain in office as a caretaker until the Ossorian war crisis of 1986, after which the opposition banded together and formed the Filomena Pinheiro government. This marked the NB's first participation in a federal government, and achieved Lea's goal of a grand coalition.

During the 1980s, a rift developed in the NB between the larger CNP, NPR, and PDU, which remained loyal to the Hannaist foundations of Gylian conservatism, and the FEP and IFP, which increasingly moved towards economic liberalism and sought to align with right-wing populists. The tensions broke out into the open after Lea's death, culminating in the dérive au droite and the FEP and IFP splitting from the NB in 1989 to form the Union for Freedom and Prosperity. Their place was taken by the UND and MRR.

The 1990 federal election proved to be a breakthrough for Non-inscrits, as voters punished the established blocs for their role in the wretched decade. While the NB was well-positioned to gain from its role as standard-bearer of the opposition, the UFP split and exposure of the neoliberal conspiracy brought negative publicity, and it suffered a drop in support.

During the 1990s–2000s, the NB had an ambiguous role, alternately providing outside support for and opposing the Mathilde Vieira government depending on issues. It gradually rebuilt its support to previous levels as the non-inscrit wave receded.

The NB was disadvantaged at first by the Latte Revolution. Marie-Agnès Delaunay's electoral reform drove the UND and MRR to merge with the NPR and PDU, respectively. It ultimately found its own glamorous leader in Maria Lucía De Angelis y Cortés. She led the NB to victory in the 2020 federal election, and formed a coalition with the CCU. This made her Gylias' first conservative Prime Minister. Her coalition was re-elected in 2024. This decade was coffee and water politics era, with the NB and ENS as the strongest blocs, and the others weakened in comparison.
