By Plenary Sessions: Margit Sutrop

The rhetorical style is formal and respectful, addressing the Speaker of the Riigikogu and the rapporteur. The speech is logical and focuses on a specific political issue, employing the metaphor of "big ships" (universities) to describe their difficult maneuverability. The tone is constructive and inquisitive, seeking ways to "nudge" businesses towards greater cooperation.

The style is formal and respectful (e.g., "Honorable Minister!" "Esteemed Chairman!"), but the content is concerned and warns of future dangers. The speech begins by acknowledging positive developments ("very good news"), but quickly shifts to presenting concerns ("Two things are worrying"). A logical appeal is employed, directly linking the budget cuts to social consequences (tuition fees).
