The National Bloc () was a right-wing electoral alliance formed for the 1948 Italian general election by the Italian Liberal Party and the Common Man's Front. The alliance soon disappeared, leaving only as a party with some electoral support.
History The electoral alliance scored a poor 3.8% in the election for the Chamber of Deputies, gaining 16 seats, while a 5.4% was reached for the Senate of the Republic where the single-man constituencies and the age-restricted suffrage gave an advantage to this list formed by old pre-Italian fascist politicians. The list generally suffered the concurrence of Christian Democracy, which was seen by centrist and right-wing electors as the sole shield against the left-wing Popular Democratic Front.Archvio storico delle elezioni
