Democracy means the people decide who rules

Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin has said since the election results that “the outcome of the election is now clear” and that “the numbers are there for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to form a government together” which he said would be “the worst possible outcome for the people of the country”.

During the election campaign Deputy Ó Broin said that it would be the Irish people who would decide the next government.

In saying that "the worst possible outcome for the people of the country” is a government which has a majority of TDs, is the Deputy not being patronising and indeed, contradicting what he said in the days leading up to the election?

Why is Sinn Fein seen as a left wing party?
