Electorate
Much of the party's support comes from the 'Sotirian Pillar' of Alsland. Many of it's supporters are members of the middle class or in rural areas. The Bloc has tried expanding it's support among the working class in the past.
Relationships to other parties and blocs
The National Bloc has cooperated on several occasions with the Progressive Alliance, the two have formed numerous coalition governments spanning from the collapse of the Alslander Bloc. The two Blocs are close regarding economic issues compared to the Centre Party which is substantially more economically liberal. However both blocs have ruled out entering a coalition with the other in the aftermath of the Brandsma government which had resulted in defections from both blocs to more radical political parties.
The National Bloc was critical of the establishment of Together for the Republic in 2021 which it considered as damaging to the pillarised system in Alsland as it combined elements of the Liberal, Sotirian and Socialist pillars.
The Bloc shared a close relationship with the United Democratic Union and it's successor the Orange Party. It's relationship with the Orange Party has been criticised by moderate members of the Bloc due to the Orange Party's ideology. The Bloc is the traditional enemy of Maitiid and it's predecessors. However Maitiid and the National Bloc formed a coalition in the Dellish Community to prevent a centre-left Progressive Alliance led government.
