Political Position
The political focus centers on the importance of local representation and consulting with constituents during the legislative process. The speaker stresses that the representative must be accountable to their voters, directly questioning whether the decision taken (voting in favor of the draft bill) was in line with the mandates of the Haabersti constituents. The activity is aimed more at monitoring the representative’s performance (it is performance-driven) than at the substance of the policy itself.

Topic Expertise
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of the Riigikogu's rules of procedure, being aware of their right to ask two questions and knowing the committee's voting results (two members voted against). However, no substantive or technical subject matter expertise regarding the content of the bill under discussion is evident. The expertise shown is focused on procedural and representational issues.
