Political Position
The political stance is strongly oppositional, focusing on opposing the car tax and the high price of food. The analysis is results-based, criticizing the government’s handling of economic matters and the lack of clarity in lawmaking ("little clarity"). At the same time, the internal unity and good results of their own party (referenced by the Center Party anthem) are emphasized.

Rhetorical Style
The rhetorical style is unusual and entertaining, employing rhyming verse and sarcasm ("this resembles a circus here"). The tone is predominantly combative and critical, directed at ministers and political parties through personalized attacks. The speaker utilizes both emotional appeals (such as playing the national anthem) and solemn wishes (like calling for a Christmas truce).

Opposition Stance
The main opponents are the parties of the governing coalition, who are criticized sharply and personally (Mart, Akkermann). The criticism is directed both at specific policies (the car tax) and at their general activities (the loss of identity by Eesti 200, the ironic mention of Isamaa's rating). The legislative procedure is described as "agony."
