The 15th Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The political stance heavily focuses on amending the Republic of Estonia President Election Act to increase the credibility of the process and preempt criticism regarding the emergence of "dark horse" candidates. The speaker firmly supports the parliamentary system of government, opposing the direct election of the president and citing 18 failed attempts to amend the constitution. The proposed changes are framed as necessary steps within a democracy package that must be implemented quickly before the next elections.

The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position centers on chairing the Riigikogu session and managing the agenda. The focus is on the deliberation of government-initiated draft legislation (such as amendments to the Planning Act), while maintaining a neutral and procedural framework. This stance is heavily process-oriented, rather than substantive.

The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The political position centers on defining the procedural rules governing Riigikogu sessions and delimiting the powers of the presiding officer. A key question highlighted is whether the chair has the authority to demand specific, factual answers from a minister when the minister remains relevant but does not elaborate on every detail. This position is aimed at preventing undue intervention by the session chair.
