Secretary of Euclean Affairs (2006–2010)
Member of the Folkssenaat
In the 2018 Alslandic legislative election Lippmaa led the ASAY list in the Martish Community and won a seat in the Folkssenaat. He was one of two Martish ASAY senators elected in 2018. Lippmaa is a member of the Folkssenaat's committee on Foreign Affairs and became the committee's vice-chair in 2021 having previously chaired the committee from 2010 until 2016.
Ahead of the 2018 legislative election, Lippmaa as well as Rayk Herder openly criticised ASAY candidate Ydo van Veen for refusing to attend television debates as well as his use of a private helicopter to attend campaign events which damaged the party's image. Van Veen responded by threatening to expel his opponents in the party, Van Veen's reaction led to him being removed as candidate by the Presidium of the Party who appointed Jabik Nieuwenhuis for candidate. The party lost 35 seats and received it's lowest share of the vote since the Great War which Lippmaa attributed to Van Veen's comments as well as the strong performance of the centrist Progressive Alliance.
After the 2021 Yndyk train bombing, Lippmaa like much of his party voted against the "2021 Anti-terrorism and Security act". During a debate before the vote, Lippmaa called the act "undemocratic" and compared Ottila Möller to Rafael Duclerque. After the debate Lippmaa apologised for the comparison on social media after facing backlash from veterans groups as well as historians and other Senators. During the vote on the act, ASAY senators turned their backs and walked out of the chamber after the vote was held. Shortly afterwards ASAY tabled a bill to reduce the powers of the act although the bill was blocked from receiving a vote in the Folkssenaat by the National Bloc.
On 29 June 2022, Lippmaa was formally selected as ASAY's candidate for Premier in the upcoming 2022 Alslandic legislative election. During his acceptance speech he vowed to campaign on social and economic issues such as the cost of living increase as well as adding a non-binary or 'other' option to Alslandic ID cards and passports. As of Lippmaa accepting the candidacy, ASAY held a strong second position in opinion polls. In various opinion polls conducted at the start of the campaign, Lippmaa was the most popular candidate for Premier and the only candidate with a positive approval rating.
