It happens in the US too. Tribalism and ideological clustering are so similar, they are being used interchangeably these days. But in some traditional countries there are literal clans and tribes voting in blocks.

Yep, bloc voting can be habitual or strategic. There's a town in Northern California where the majority of the seats on the council is held by people who all happen to attend the same megachurch.
