Former Tory MEP: Ireland 'stepped back from democracy' by voting for Sinn Féin

A former British MEP has claimed that Ireland has “stepped back from democracy” by voting for Sinn Féin in such big numbers at the recent General Election.

Daniel Hannan, a member of the European Parliament for South East England from 1999 up until the UK’s exit from the EU last month, said that the party “can’t quite shake off its vicious tendencies”.
