15th Riigikogu, 3rd sitting, plenary sitting
The tone is highly combative, ideological, and critical, especially directed at the opponents (the Social Democrats). The speaker employs sharp contrasts (entrepreneurship vs. redistribution) and demands a clear stance from the opposition. He levels strong accusations, referencing the opponents' rhetoric, which compares political parties to the mafia and Putinist Russia.

15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
The style is formal ("good chairman/rapporteur"), but the substance is sharp and interrogative. Rhetorical questions are employed to cast doubt on the opponents' motives (e.g., fear of profit/loss aversion). In the third address, the rapporteur is accused of skillfully evading the core substance of the question, which demonstrates a desire to stick to the specific topic and hold them accountable.
