15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu

The rhetorical style is direct and procedural, incorporating a touch of irony when the question is raised whether every member mentioned should be granted the floor for a rebuttal. The tone is analytical, and the objective is to resolve procedural ambiguity, simultaneously making a specific, personal declaration ("I am not [part of this]").

Draft law amending the Local Government Electoral Act and the Act on Churches and Parishes (544 SE) - Second Reading

The rhetorical style is extremely concise, direct, and resolute ("I will keep it very brief"). The speaker employs a literary quote (Teet Kallas) and a simple metaphor ("simple as a trouser button") as an emotional appeal. The tone is decisive and concludes with a strong ideological appeal to terminate the legacy of the Estonian SSR for the sake of history.

Santa Claus

15th Riigikogu, 4th session, plenary session

The rhetorical style is unconventional and pointed, blending personal attacks (aimed at Gaute) and the labeling of colleagues ("freeloaders") with profound literary substance. Irony and sarcasm are employed (a reference to the "great leader"), and an emotional appeal is made through historical context and poetry. The tone is simultaneously philosophical and confrontational.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary session

The style is personal, direct, and ironic, leveraging both the recipient's and the speaker's own smoking habits as a rhetorical device.

First Reading of the Draft Resolution of the Riigikogu (104 OE), titled "Making a Proposal to the Government of the Republic to Remove the So-Called Bronze Soldier Statue from Public Space"

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting

The speaker's rhetorical style is passionate and persuasive, employing strong emotional terms like "graven image" and "ridiculous." Logical arguments (the monument's nature as Soviet symbolism) are supported by personal stories and historical examples, creating a vivid and memorable presentation. The tone is at times confrontational, especially when criticizing the positions of the social democrats, but simultaneously acknowledges the general consensus within the Riigikogu regarding the necessity of relocation.
