XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The speaker is in strong opposition to Kristen Michal's government, criticizing its credibility and referring to the country's descent into the "bottom tier." The political focus is directed at the government's priorities, contrasting the development of a maritime nation with the reputation of a prison and casino state. Emphasis is placed on the necessity for the Riigikogu (Parliament), as the government's employer, to seize power, so as not to become a "pathetic rubber stamp."

The political stance is fiercely anti-government, focusing specifically on the poor performance of Prime Minister Kristen Michal. The main points of emphasis are economic instability (inflation, youth unemployment) and the decline of the state's credibility. Deep skepticism is also expressed regarding e-voting, linking it to Russia and Venezuela, alongside a demand that the current government be stripped of its authority to govern the country.

15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on the government's ("regime's") crisis of confidence and incompetence. The sharpest opposition is directed at the ratification of the Swedish prisoner agreement, and the government's priorities are criticized, specifically that money is being spent on expensive foreign prisoners while social benefits (such as disability allowance) are laughably small. The framing is strongly value-based and results-oriented, emphasizing alienation and the "stupid decisions" being made in the country.

The stance is strongly results-oriented, criticizing the inaction of both the executive branch (the Prime Minister) and the chair of the session.

The political framework is overwhelmingly value-based, focusing on the objectives set forth in the preamble of the constitution.
