XV Riigikogu, VI Session, Plenary Sitting
The rhetorical style is confrontational and demanding, posing direct questions to the Prime Minister regarding the illogical nature of his policies ("how can you possibly rationalize things like that?"). Logical and economic arguments are employed, but the address concludes with a personal challenge to describe his thought process ("Please describe what is going on in your head.").

15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Information Hour
The rhetorical style is combative, critical, and demanding, emphasizing the Prime Minister's reluctance to answer directly ("getting an egg out of a chicken"). A repetitive and clearly defined example of a person earning 1000 euros is used to create both a logical and an emotional appeal. The tone is formal, but includes sharp accusations regarding the government's constant repetition of its political talking points.
