The style is dual: when acting as the committee rapporteur, it is extremely formal, detailed, and procedure-focused, concentrating on facts and decisions. However, in political debate, the speaker becomes sharp and aggressive, employing strong language (for instance, calling the opposition's draft bill "crap" and "unfit for purpose"). He repeatedly demands that the chair adhere to the rules of procedure and accuses opponents of demagoguery and hypocrisy.

The language used is mostly formal and detailed (in commission reports), but in debates, the tone quickly becomes urgent, critical, and at times combative. Strong metaphors are used (the budget is a "fire," the financial system is "blood circulation," the state is "on the edge of a debt vortex"). It consistently appeals to logic, responsibility, and statesmanship, contrasting this with the opponents' "demagoguery" and "foolishness."
