The rhetorical style is questioning and confrontational, addressing direct questions to the minister facing a confidence vote concerning both his background and his agenda. Appeals to history and ideology are employed (the Communist Party, Red Army infrastructure) to criticize political opponents, all while maintaining the formal tone of the session.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The rhetorical style is combative and critical, employing strong language, such as "completely absurd!" and the claim that "taxation into poverty is proceeding full speed ahead." It utilizes both logical arguments (economic recession, revenue projections) and emotional appeal, urging "people with a conscience" to vote in favor of the repeal. The tone remains formal, yet its substance is sharp and oppositional.

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The rhetorical style is sharply critical, skeptical, and demanding, especially concerning the justification of taxes and the mandate for their imposition. Both logical argumentation (a mathematical proof detailing the size of the VAT increase) and social appeals (focusing on the impact on poorer people and potential food scarcity) are utilized. The speaker poses questions directly and skeptically, expressing clear distrust concerning the cancellation of the tax on sugary beverages.
