15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, information briefing
The rhetorical style is critical and confrontational, employing strong contrasts (e.g., blocking qualified teachers versus allowing unqualified ones) and rhetorical questions designed to cast doubt on the rationality of the government's actions. Figurative language is utilized (for instance, the prime minister is "with one foot in Europe"), and the speaker's position as the defender of the interests of the Estonian people is strongly emphasized.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is sharp, critical, and combative, accusing the coalition of employing "steamroller politics" and lying to the public. Both logical arguments (the Estonian economy is in free fall, budget deficits) and emotional appeals (a schizophrenic situation, the bill will painfully impact low-income groups) are utilized. The speaker addresses the session chair, colleagues, and the public directly, demanding the coalition show "backbone" by admitting responsibility for its actions.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, information briefing
The rhetorical style is formal, critical, and interrogative, making strong use of rhetorical questions to challenge the appropriateness of the Foreign Minister's conduct. The speaker employs a logical appeal by creating a hypothetical counter-scenario (the Foreign Minister at a demonstration in Tallinn) to substantiate their argument regarding diplomatic impropriety.
