Emotional and colorful expressions are employed ("hodgepodge," "peculiar impression") to underscore their position. The appeal is primarily logical, stressing the central government's need for a clear partner at the local level.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The rhetorical style is factual but insistent, emphasizing the need for swift action to alleviate the hardships faced by the public and farmers. It utilizes both logical arguments (stimulating consumption, stable revenue collection) and emotional appeals (people’s standard of living has deteriorated, people must be fed), all while maintaining a high level of formality. Comparisons are also drawn to the positive effects of previous tax reductions (excise duties).
