It employs both logical arguments (the necessity of wage subsidies and insurance) and emotional appeals (the bankruptcy of business owners). The issue of fast internet is directly referred to as a "farce," which sharpens the criticism.

However, the speaker is also capable of adopting a personal and warm tone, speaking in their native language (Võro) and referencing the concerns of ordinary residents in their constituency.
