15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The style of cooperation is adversarial, yet open to the input of experts (Vare, Raudsepp, Vitsur) in parliamentary debates, who are thanked for their rational and dispassionate assessments. The party's (Isamaa) readiness to present an alternative budget is highlighted. The only clear point of agreement with the government is the necessity of increasing defense spending, where they stand "on the same side of the front line."

15th Riigikogu, 6th sitting, plenary session
The speaker is acting on behalf of the faction, explaining the differences Isamaa has with other opposition parties regarding the initial draft of the no-confidence motion, while affirming the shared objective of expressing no confidence in the government. He recognizes the minister's candor during the internal faction debate, but deems the leadership failures too serious to warrant offering "remedial lessons" or seeking compromises.

The style of interaction is formal and demanding, aimed at the Prime Minister to elicit specific answers regarding protocols for the use of force and the division of authority.

15th Riigikogu, extraordinary session of the Riigikogu
The cooperation is aimed at uniting opposition factions (e.g., joint protests against parliamentary procedures) and representing the views of interest groups (40 business organizations). Assistance is offered to the government (such as a draft bill to postpone the tax bump) in situations where the government is deemed incompetent, but the overall tone remains confrontational and the willingness to compromise is low. It calls for dialogue with the opposition and business leaders.
