The rhetorical style is formal and procedural in commission reports, but becomes critical and at times provocative during debates. Strong metaphors are employed to criticize state over-regulation ("nanny state," "blank document") alongside historical comparisons (the Soviet-era anti-alcohol campaign). The discourse includes both logical arguments (such as avoiding bureaucracy) and sharp, value-based stances, including an ironic comment regarding victims of fraud ("fools should indeed be separated from their money").
