Political Position
The political focus is currently aimed at criticizing the standard of the working environment in the Riigikogu, often referring to it as a kindergarten. The speaker positions themselves as someone elevating this standard, stressing that the happiness and visits of children are more valuable than the happiness of the members of Parliament. This constitutes a value-based framework that calls into question the priorities and behavioral standards of the parliament.
