Description[?]:
| This is a necessary service in modern life. Without a phone or internet, the only method of communicating -- a necessary factor of life now -- is though letters, inefficient, expensive and sometimes not even considered. In addition, many businesses and jobs will require phone access -- and providing this for everyone will boost the economy and cut costs. Finally, this will take problems off the minds of the poor. A single parent, a struggling family -- forced to sacrifice food to purchase phone access just to function in modern society. A good economy requires an in-touch society. Finally: we can easily afford this. |

| Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
