The speaker demands strict fiscal discipline, proposing cuts to the expenses of the Riigikogu (Parliament) board, and supports linking ministerial accountability directly to economic outcomes. His framework is clearly performance-based, highlighting Estonia's dismal ranking (second only to Haiti) regarding the duration of the economic recession. He sharply opposes the government’s implemented "tax orgy."

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly opposed to the government’s tax policy, emphasizing the disappearance of predictability in the tax environment and the chaotic raising of taxes, which is termed a "tax orgy." The speaker focuses primarily on social injustice, arguing that tax hikes worsen the living standards of the most vulnerable groups (pensioners) while simultaneously funding benefits for the wealthy. The political framework is strongly results-oriented, criticizing the government’s continued unsuccessful economic course.

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary sitting
The political position focuses heavily on state budget transparency, ministerial accountability, and preserving the Riigikogu’s control over the executive branch. The speaker opposes the increased authority granted to ministers under the new budget framework law to modify expenditures, deeming this action unconstitutional. There is exceptional criticism regarding the designation "security tax," arguing that the name does not reflect its actual purpose of covering the budget deficit. The political framework employed is primarily procedural and critical of the government’s actions.
