15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is interrogative and analytical, focusing on challenging the opponents' vague claims (e.g., security threat) and demanding practical clarity. The speaker employs logical arguments, such as mentioning the double privileges enjoyed by gray passport holders (EU and Russian Federation), and presents their questions directly and formally.

Fifteenth Riigikogu, Fourth Session, Plenary Session
The rhetorical style is sharply critical, highly charged, and demanding, accusing the Prime Minister of losing internal stability and clarity. Strong metaphors and loaded judgments are employed, such as "tax chaos," "regression," "social democrat dictate," and "political fog and obfuscation." The speaker demands concrete facts and figures, contrasting them with the government's generalized evasiveness, and is direct and confrontational within the formal parliamentary setting.

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session.
The rhetorical style is sharply critical, combative, and forceful, highlighting the government's indifference ("they don't care"). Rhetorical questions and contrasts are employed (e.g., "the world's best finance minister" versus "a non-transparent budget") to undermine the government's credibility. The speaker uses numerous negative adjectives (confusing, incomprehensible, illogical) and appeals to the diminishing sense of security.
