The tone is concerned, yet professional and solution-oriented.

The style is extremely combative, critical, and accusatory, particularly toward the minister, who is accused of ignoring the Riigikogu and displaying "extreme arrogance." Sharp criticisms are employed (e.g., "completely unheard of," "absurd"), and emphasis is placed on procedural injustice and the assertion of falsehoods. The tone is formal yet emotionally charged, demanding order and accountability.

The rhetorical style is critical, insistent, and concerned, utilizing strong evaluations such as "absurd," "unprecedented," and "anomaly."

15th Estonian Parliament, 4th session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is highly combative, accusatory, and forceful, employing strong emotional appeals and historical parallels (the events of 1940) to dramatize the current situation. Sharp and unconventional language is used ("bullsh…", "blatant lie," "cesspits"), and the deliberate destructiveness of the government's actions is emphasized. The speaker poses many rhetorical questions and concludes on a pessimistic note, seeing the future "in the darkest colors."
