15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
Political Position
The most prominent theme is the government crisis and the question of accountability. The speaker adopts a strong oppositional stance, criticizing the Reform Party's principle of blaming other partners for failures. The focus is on the government's actions and accountability, rather than specific policy areas, and the position is strongly results-oriented and critical.

Topic Expertise
The speaker demonstrates knowledge of the dynamics of coalition politics and internal government crises, specifically analyzing patterns of blame. An agricultural analogy (famine/drought, flood) is employed to introduce the crisis, but the presentation lacks data or technical terminology related to research and development (R&D) or long-term strategy.
1 Speeches Analyzed
Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is confrontational, ironic, and accusatory, especially when describing the behavioral pattern of the Reform Party. The speaker uses sarcasm and rhetorical questions to demand accountability from the prime minister. The tone is more emotional and politically charged than formal or data-driven.

Opposition Stance
The main opponent is the Reform Party, which is sharply criticized for shifting blame onto its other partners (the Social Democrats, EKREIKE). The criticism is intense and focuses on the party’s political pattern of behavior and its avoidance of responsibility. The speaker predicts that the new partner, Eesti 200, will be the next scapegoat.

Legislative Focus
The focus centers on the Prime Minister's report regarding the implementation of the state's long-term development strategy, "Eesti 2035," but the speaker fails to address the strategy's actual content. Legislative priorities are missing; the emphasis is instead placed on the government's political accountability and the formation of coalitions.
