Political Position
The political focus is on the quality of legislation and the importance of long-term planning (the "long plan"). The speaker supports the importance of the Climate Law topic but strongly opposes rushing the process and the lack of substantive preparation. The criticism is aimed at a procedure that resembles the principle of "rush it through, and we'll see what happens later."

Topic Expertise
The speaker demonstrates awareness of the procedural quality inherent in legislation and the necessity of comprehensive preparation.

The expertise offered centers instead on legislative methodology and the requirement for a long-term strategy.

Rhetorical Style
The style is serious and focuses on procedural criticism, stressing the necessity of thoroughness. A figurative Russian expression ("davai, davai, potom posmotrim") is used to characterize hasty and ill-considered legislation. The address is a brief retort that appeals to logic, emphasizing the importance of the quality of the content over the label.
