The speaker relies on logical arguments (the waste of IT spending, the deterioration of living standards) but emotionally stresses the suffering and difficulties faced by the public. The style is formal, aimed both at colleagues and those following the proceedings online.

The 15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
