The speaker's style is predominantly combative, critical, and insistent, often employing emotional appeals (e.g., "for heaven's sake," "pure surrender"). He contrasts the numbers in an Excel spreadsheet with regional security and the real lives of people (driving a car in winter, fuel excises). He favors logical arguments linked to practical consequences (e.g., road deterioration, rising food prices) and poses many rhetorical questions to cast doubt on his opponents' motives.

The rhetorical style is predominantly combative and critical, emphasizing the urgency of the issues and the negative consequences of the government's actions. Strong emotional language is employed ("green madness," "taxed to death"), as is irony (for instance, referencing the minister setting an example by driving a car without a valid technical inspection). Challenging rhetorical questions are frequently directed at ministers to cast doubt on their competence and the rationale behind their decisions. The speaker stresses the importance of data and facts, contrasting them sharply with the government's "foggy" or vague responses.
