By Years: Toomas Kivimägi

The style of cooperation is respectful and professional, particularly when interacting with senior legal officials, whom he commends for their precise choice of words. Regarding procedural matters, he stresses the necessity of amending legislation, which demands a broad consensus (51 votes) to prevent panic. He is, however, firm in defending the coalition's rights concerning parliamentary customs, placing the responsibility for ignoring those customs squarely on the conscience of others.

He/She strongly supports the decisions of the Riigikogu Board and seeks to guide colleagues toward respecting parliamentary customs and procedures. He/She emphasizes the potential for open dialogue in other formats (such as the information hour or interpellations) and refers to the Prime Minister’s presentation as an additional opportunity afforded to the parliament.
