15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is very demanding, repetitive, and confrontational, focusing on naming specific names. The speaker uses accusatory language ("deceitful energy policy") and hints at hidden activity, a conflict of interest, or lining someone's pockets. He attempts to exert procedural pressure by asking the presiding officer for the opportunity to repeat the question until an answer is obtained.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The style is concerned and direct, emphasizing the need for swift action because the damages are extensive and the public's sense of security has taken a serious blow. Both logical arguments (population figures, the precise wording of the legislative amendment) and emotional examples (the mauling of dogs and sheep right on private property) are employed. The speaker also uses colloquial expressions, such as "a disservice" (karuteene) and "taking things too far" (vint üle keeratakse), to warn against excessive regulation.
