The stance is strongly results-oriented and confrontational.

Topic Expertise
The speaker demonstrates expertise in the field of demography, citing Rein Taagepera's "theory of the demographic toilet bowl," a concept he classifies as a classic within demography. This suggests an effort to use academic or specialized terminology as the foundation for criticism, thereby underscoring the gravity of the situation.
