The text emphasizes the importance of democracy as the art of compromise and defends the participation of the SDE (Social Democratic Party) in the coalition, arguing that it allows them to achieve their objectives, even if only partially. It seeks cooperation with stakeholders (such as the Council of Churches regarding the Religious Act) and other political parties (for instance, on the regulation of micro-mobility devices), but remains prepared to vote against the coalition if the content of the draft legislation is substantively deficient (for example, EKRE bills).

The speaker underscores the importance of cooperation and seeking consensus, particularly in the work of the committees, where he repeatedly notes that decisions were reached consensually. He commends the efforts of the government and ministers (such as Riina Sikkut, the head of the Financial Supervision Authority) for adopting a consumer-centric approach. Furthermore, he supports inter-ministerial cooperation (for instance, between the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Education) in securing the needs of the labor market and is prepared to make compromises regarding constitutional amendments.
