15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd session, plenary session.
The style is analytical, critical, and cautionary, emphasizing the broader negative impact of tax increases (e.g., on food prices and competition). Logical arguments are employed, and specific examples are cited (Pärnu City Council, the e-environment for forest notifications). The speaker uses metaphors such as "Pandora's box" and the "tax axe," and poses rhetorical questions regarding the justification of the state's actions.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is passionate, critical, and penetrating, employing strong emotional appeals (e.g., "a deeply mocking attitude," "it really gets on my nerves"). It frequently uses contrast and analogy (Porsche GT vs. Land Cruiser, Tallinn's 'golden ring' vs. scattered rural settlement) to highlight injustice. The discourse is formal, yet it incorporates colloquialisms that underscore political foolishness.
