the block vote

[Ivo]

Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

We take renewed inspiration for our future work, because Edinburg revealed a growing opposition to official policy. And in the daily struggle that opposition cannot be wiped out by the block vote.

the block vote = mandate majority

Thank you for your efforts.

[Mister Micawber]

Yes.
