15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is highly direct, critical, and confrontational, employing powerful metaphors (e.g., labeling police officers, strangling people). The speaker is prepared to directly call out a colleague in the chamber, using an imperative tone ("Be polite and shut up," "Stop whining!"). The style itself is fairly logical, concentrating on exposing the illogic inherent in politics, but the delivery is emotionally charged.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is formal, direct, and interrogative, aimed at obtaining a precise explanation of policy details from the minister. Logical argumentation and concrete comparisons (e.g., the CO2 quota) are employed to express concern regarding the regulation's potential complexity and economic impact. The tone is neutral, yet it conveys skepticism regarding the regulation's unintended consequences.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session.
The style is highly confrontational, demanding, and at times emotional, especially when procedural matters are being discussed. Strong accusations are employed, such as "crossing the line into arrogance" and "railroading the process." The logical appeal consists of repeatedly demanding that the specific legal provision underpinning the action be named, while the emotional appeal emphasizes injustice and the violation of established prior practice.
