15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The speaker's style is formal and polite, addressing the minister directly ("Dear Minister Kalle"). The tone is critical, as there is a reference to opposition bills ending up in the "trash bin," but the question is posed in the hope of seeing changes, balancing acrimony and expectation.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The rhetorical style is predominantly combative, critical, and interrogative, particularly when assessing government actions, where penetrating questions are used to challenge the perception of the actual situation. In legislative debates, sharp counterarguments and analogies (such as drivers versus doctors) are employed to dismantle the opposing side's claims regarding complexity. The overall tone is one of concern and urgency.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The speaker's rhetorical style is pragmatic and insistent, emphasizing genuine failure and a long-standing problem ("20 years in Saaremaa, and it's been the same mess the whole time"). They use both logical arguments (the channeling of CO2 funds, technical specifications) and personal examples (a home without power, the inability to charge an electric vehicle). The tone is critical, particularly concerning the government's inaction, which is underscored by an ironic expression of gratitude for the lengthy processing time of the inquiry.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The overall tone is largely critical of the political confrontation, stressing the urgency of finding solutions to problems. The speaker employs both conciliatory appeals for cooperation and sharp criticism directed at ideological obstruction, which they label "ideologized nonsense." Speaker 3 used the example of a local authority (the Saaremaa Municipal Council) to illustrate the situation within the Riigikogu.
