Political Position
The political position centers on sharp criticism of the actions of the Tallinn city government (led by the SDE), particularly concerning the regulation of light electric vehicles (scooters). Although the principle of granting local governments more regulatory tools is supported, this support is conditional and is framed by the Tallinn leadership's poor performance and incompetence. The stance is strongly focused on effectiveness and administrative capacity.

Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is critical and at times confrontational, including both a slight personal remark (Lauri's sleepy demeanor) and a political attack. Rhetorical questions are used to cast doubt on the presence and competence of the opposing side (SDE). The style is rather emotional and relies on visual examples, not data.

The speaker is pragmatic, seeking clarity on potential cooperation by asking the bill's presenter whether the matter has been discussed with colleagues in the opposition. Specifically, they are investigating whether the Social Democrats' votes can be secured as support, despite the sharp criticism directed at them.
