By Years: Mart Helme

The speaker calls for cross-party cooperation for the sake of the nation's survival, but in practice, cooperation is limited to other opposition factions (Isamaa, Center Party) regarding motions of no confidence against the government and the repeal of tax increases. He/She is open to joint action to reject specific bills, but views the coalition partners with deep suspicion and accuses them of corrupt complicity.

The speaker expresses readiness to cooperate with other opposition parties (the Centre Party, Isamaa) on substantive legislative work and the submission of bills opposing the government. Cooperation with the government is ruled out, as the speaker claims the government is "corrupt" and "tramples on" both the law and the rights of the opposition. The speaker supports the opposition's joint demands (such as summoning the prime minister to answer questions) and stresses the opposition's role in the Riigikogu as a body focused on substantive work.
