15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political platform centers on strong opposition to the e-voting system, which is viewed as a threat to the legitimacy and endurance of the Estonian state. It is stressed that the system violates the principles of the Constitution (secrecy, equality, simultaneity) and constitutes an attack coming from within. This is a value-based framework that calls into question the legitimacy of all previous governments. The rhetoric is fiercely critical and apocalyptic, pointing to potential fraud and falsehoods.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly oppositional to the government, which is accused of bungling, arrogant, and cynical state management. The key issues are the impoverishment of the Estonian people, high taxes (especially the VAT on foodstuffs), and the social and healthcare crises. The political framework is clearly aimed at criticizing the failures and values of the ruling elite.

15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly opposed to the current energy policy, which is characterized as "ideological green madness" and "utopian fantasies." They support maintaining cheap domestic oil shale energy, the price of which has been artificially inflated. It is emphasized that the speaker's party (EKRE) has consistently held this stance since 2022, contrasting sharply with the subsequent change of heart among other parties.

15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, press briefing
The speaker holds a strongly oppositional political stance, focusing on the government's failures in the social sector and the economy. He sharply criticizes the cuts to benefits for people with disabilities and the legal system's unfair handling of the elderly care home scandals (Pihlakodu, Värska). The speaker frames the government's actions as a values-based critique, accusing them of prioritizing businessmen (in the arms, renewable energy, and banking sectors) at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fifth Session, Plenary Session.
The political position is strongly directed towards protecting the rights of vulnerable groups (the elderly, those with dementia) and ensuring the accountability of the legal system in cases of egregious human rights violations. Furthermore, the speaker strongly advocates for the regulation of ride-sharing services to guarantee fair competition and public safety. The framework is both value-based (justice, security) and policy- and regulation-centric, demanding accountability from individuals connected to the Reform Party.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on the government's lack of legitimacy regarding its constitutional mandate and its disastrous energy and tax policy choices. The most crucial issues are the protection of cheap and stable shale oil electricity, opposition to European "green madness" and corruption, and criticism of the rising tax burden on the populace. The stance is strongly value-based (legitimacy) and results-oriented (economic deterioration).
