15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting
The rhetorical style is sharply aggressive, accusatory, and skeptical, employing strong terms such as "fumbling and lying" and "Reform Party illiberalism." The speaker points out logical inconsistencies (the socialization of costs versus the loosening of state aid), but does so sarcastically, even personally, by questioning the comprehension skills of a colleague (Igor Taro) and offering him remedial courses.

The rhetorical style is combative, provocative, and heavily metaphorical, employing the imagery of the Republic Day concert and the Zetod song "Pohmela" (Hangover). The speaker utilizes an emotional appeal and vulgarity ("a taste of shit in the mouth") to deliver a sharp message to the coalition regarding political incompetence and to demand that they sober up.
