History
The Bloc was formed in 1917 by the Estonian Democratic Party, the Estonian Radical Democratic Party and the Rural League.[1] Between them the parties had won 24 of the 62 seats in the Provincial Assembly elections in the same year.[2]
In the Russia-wide elections in November 1917, the Democratic Bloc received around 23% of the vote in the Autonomous Governorate of Estonia.[3] In the Estonian Constituent Assembly elections the following year, the Bloc maintained its vote share at around 23%.[4]
In March 1919 the Estonian Democratic Party and Estonian Radical Democratic Party merged to form the Estonian People's Party,[1] with the Rural League remaining a separate party.
