The style is formal and procedural, especially when acting as the rapporteur for the Finance Committee, where they refuse to answer questions that were not discussed in the committee, thereby stressing the importance of proper procedure. In political debate, the tone is direct and at times combative, accusing opponents (such as Isamaa) of distorting facts and failing to engage in substantive debate. They emphasize logic and numerical facts (for example, the net impact of abolishing the tax kink) to defend their stance. They repeatedly use the phrase "unfortunately, I must admit" to criticize the opposition's minimal contribution to the committee's work.
