15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu extraordinary session.
The political position is strongly national and value-based, emphasizing the unique role of the Republic of Estonia as the source of Estonian vitality. The speaker sharply opposes the Social Democrats' "cynical politics," particularly concerning the transition to Estonian-language instruction and the issue of retaining voting rights for citizens of the aggressor state. The primary objective is to guarantee the ministerial candidate's trustworthiness and dedication to serving the Estonian people. The stance is strongly adversarial and focuses on adherence to constitutional law.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The political position is strongly opposed to the car tax, criticizing its social flaws and the government's heavy-handed implementation. The primary goal of the tax is viewed as filling the budget, not environmental conservation, even though Estonia ranks eighth globally for outdoor air quality. Emphasis is placed on the Reform Party’s responsibility for the poor state of Estonian finances and their inability to put the country in order. The political framework is strongly value-based, focused on protecting rural residents and families.

15th Riigikogu, Riigikogu's extraordinary session.
The political position is strongly oppositional and results-oriented, calling into question the rhetoric of the Reform Party’s fourth consecutive government regarding getting the country back in order. The main focus is on education policy, teachers’ salary issues, and the potential dismantling of the funding principles of the Cultural Endowment. The stance is critical, stressing that the substance of the coalition agreement is irrelevant compared to the prime ministerial candidate’s three years of accountability.
