Alliance Party leader Naomi Long said the DUP's announcement is ''frustrating"
"It's hugely frustrating, as members of society, that we're not going to have a Government formed, that we're not even going to have an Assembly where the basics can be done, like scrutinising ministers who are still in post ... It is an incredibly frustrating position that we find ourselves in," she told BBC Radio Ulster.
Ms Long said the DUP had "considerably less votes" than the other parties combined who were in favour of going back into government, PA report.
She also warned DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson not to "overplay his hand" in negotiations with the UK Government over the Northern Ireland Protocol.
"When you play with fire, you will get burned. We saw this with Brexit where the DUP had influence - they overplayed their hand and they ended up with the mess that we are now in and they're now asking us all to fix it," she said.
"They are playing with fire again, because the institutions in Northern Ireland cannot survive in the way they are being abused.
"The people who need these institutions most and who need stability in Northern Ireland are unionists, so I would caution Sir Jeffrey about assuming that, in another election, there will be willing partners to go into government beyond it or indeed willing people to fight a further election.
"We have just had an election. It's incumbent upon us all to accept the outcome of it and to make it work. That's our job as politicians.
"I think the DUP is playing a very dangerous game with the institutions and with the future of Northern Ireland."
