15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
Political Position
The political position is predominantly procedural and conservative, centered on strong opposition to most proposals aimed at changing the agenda of the Riigikogu session. The Reform Party faction stresses the clear and understandable stance that agenda items must remain in their originally assigned slots. The only substantive political issue supported was the reform of the management of the national healthcare reserve.

Opposition Stance
The opposition is aimed at proposals from other factions and specific politicians (e.g., the Center Party faction, Urmas Reinsalu, Helle-Moonika Helme) seeking to change the agenda. This opposition is intense and consistent, but it focuses only on procedural questions, such as altering the sequence or scheduling of agenda items.

Collaboration Style
The style of cooperation is predominantly adversarial, as the faction does not support most of the amendments proposed by others. As an exception, they once supported extending the session, finding the proposal reasonable in order to conclude the important debate, which demonstrates a pragmatic approach to showing unity.
15 Speeches Analyzed
Regional Focus
Regional focus is lacking. Ida-Virumaa is mentioned only in the context where the government's away session prevents a minister from participating in the Riigikogu, not as a political priority for the region.
