The politician's position is predominantly policy- and procedure-centric, consistently emphasizing the transparency of government activity, the legal correctness of state decisions, and the compliance of legislation with fundamental rights and legal equality. He strongly criticizes the sham attempts to reduce bureaucracy and demands that state officials avoid political bias, focusing instead on detailed procedural accuracy (including the correction of transcripts). The strongest value-based focus is directed toward national security, urgently and consistently demanding the swift revocation of voting rights for citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus in local elections, having also initiated the corresponding draft bill himself.

The speaker possesses exceptionally strong expertise in the areas of lawmaking and parliamentary procedure, encompassing constitutional disputes, citing the positions of the Chancellor of Justice, and technically distinguishing between infringements of fundamental rights and legal terminology. Their substantive expertise centers on regulatory fields such as excise policy, competition law, renewable energy development, and international climate policy, where they clearly differentiate between projects currently under review and new initiatives. Their knowledge is grounded in specific historical development documents (e.g., healthcare infrastructure plans) and direct engagement with industry representatives, demonstrating an ability to connect legislation with practical implementation and institutional history.

The politician's rhetorical style is consistently formal, analytical, and procedural, relying primarily on logical appeals, factual correction, and institutional and legal references. Although the initial tone is respectful and courteous, it quickly becomes sharp and demanding when criticism is presented, requiring detailed responses and employing strong expressions (e.g., "sham") to describe the impracticality of the policy. Emotional appeals are absent, but irony and figurative language are used when criticizing opponents, while simultaneously stressing the necessity of a broad consensus that serves the national interest.

The politician’s pattern of activity is closely linked to the work of the Riigikogu, where they participate intensively in plenary sessions, as well as the leading committee (the Economic Affairs Committee) and the Board of Elders. Their activity is consistent during peak parliamentary periods, focusing on the substance of legislation by regularly submitting interpellations and detailed questions to ministers. Their interventions frequently target government accountability, procedural correctness, and the factual precision of official documents, demonstrating a deep commitment to parliamentary duties.

The politician's oppositional stance is primarily directed against the government and its administrative branches, focusing on failures in policy and procedure, such as a lack of transparency, impracticality of legislation, and inability to execute implementation. The criticism is generally fact-based and relies on institutional support (e.g., business leaders, the Chancellor of Justice), often including demands for procedural corrections and political accountability. While the opposition is mostly analytical and focused on substantive policy issues, there are also intense and ironic attacks leveled against specific factions (e.g., the Social Democrats), while simultaneously offering broader criticism of political dishonesty and the lack of consensus.

The politician employs a dual cooperation style: domestically and procedurally, he seeks consensus, stressing the necessity of broad political agreement on key issues and serving as a mediator in committees. Conversely, his communication with the executive branch is largely demanding, critical, and focused on accountability, requiring ministers to provide substantive answers and detailed analysis. He remains open to collaborating with other factions, acknowledging the valid standpoints of the opposition when appropriate, and actively engages external stakeholders (such as energy developers) to collect critical feedback.

The politician’s focus is predominantly on national legislative and procedural issues (the legal system, voting rights, competition law). A significant portion of their attention is also directed toward international topics and European Union regulations (the Green Deal), often drawing comparisons with the policies of neighboring countries (Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland) when analyzing national problems. A specific local or regional focus within Estonia is rare, appearing only briefly in the context of infrastructure projects in the city of Tallinn and Lasnamäe.

The politician's economic views are strongly focused on protecting business interests, consistently calling for a reduction in administrative burden and bureaucracy, and stressing that regulations must provide real, practical benefits to entrepreneurs. He emphasizes clarity and correctness in lawmaking, criticizing draft legislation that fails to meet the standards set by legal experts and the Chancellor of Justice. Regarding tax policy, the politician supports a pragmatic excise policy aimed at maximizing state budget revenue for healthcare funding, while simultaneously preventing the emergence of a black market caused by overly strict restrictions.

The politician's social issues profile is heavily dominated by a strong and recurring focus on restricting civil liberties linked to security concerns. Specifically, they are a vocal proponent of revoking the voting rights of citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus in local elections. Beyond this security-centric approach, the profile also addresses regulatory measures in the public health sector, emphasizing the protection of minors from the detrimental effects of e-cigarettes. Overall, the profile strikes a balance between concrete regulatory actions (health) and highly politically charged legal and procedural issues (suffrage, equal treatment).

The legislative focus is divided between two main directions: constitutional issues carrying significant political weight (restriction of suffrage, protection of fundamental rights) and the critical analysis of economic and environmental regulations (renewable energy, e-cigarettes, EU reporting requirements). The policy-maker acts both as the initiator of specific, often controversial bills (such as those concerning voting rights) and as an active critical interrogator, demanding swift action and concrete deadlines from the government. A consistent theme is the emphasis placed on the legal accuracy of the legislative process, constitutional compliance, and procedural integrity, maintaining a key role within the leading committee in shaping decisions derived from both domestic law and EU directives.
