The Bloc

The Bloc has governed Australia since 26 October 2020. It is headed by NGSpy and the Social Democratic Party

Following the October 2020 federal election, the 2 independents in the House, Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne and Explosivo2002 held the balance of power between the sitting left-wing Social Democratic government, and the right-wing Liberal party. Following negotiations, the 2 independents decided to back Griffonomics and his government.

After a senior member of the Liberal Party, Riley8583 retweeted a tweet denying the massacre of Aboriginal Australians, the Republicans (the party formed by Mad_Bear_O_Melbourne) and Explosivo2002 left the coalition with the Liberal Party and joined the Social Democrats, Country Labor and Australian Democrats in forming government.
