Home Guard Act 1951 (repealed 1.4.1997)
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
1 Establishment and status of Home Guard.
(1) There shall be established a force to be called the Home Guard consisting of such persons as may voluntarily undertake to serve therein without pay and be accepted for such service. (2) Members of the Home Guard shall be members of the armed forces of the Crown; and every member of the Home Guard shall when on duty, and during any period during which the platoon or other part of the Home Guard to which he belongs is mustered, be subject to military law— (a) if serving on a commission in the Home Guard, as an officer; and (b) otherwise (and notwithstanding that he holds any rank or commission in any other of His Majesty’s forces), as a soldier: . . . (3) The following provisions shall have effect as to the enrolment, re-engagement and resignation of members of the Home Guard— (a) a person volunteering and accepted for service in the Home Guard shall be enrolled for a period of two years; (b) a member of the Home Guard may if he so desires and is accepted for re-engagement re-engage from time to time for a period of one year; (c) a member of the Home Guard may if he so desires cease to be a member thereof upon giving not less than one month’s notice in writing to his commanding officer. (4) Subject to the provisions of the last foregoing subsection, the conditions for the acceptance of persons as members of the Home Guard and the conditions of service of members thereof (including conditions as to allowances . . . ) shall be such as may be prescribed by orders or regulations; and orders or regulations shall make provision for the organisation of the Home Guard and their administration, government and duties, but shall not require members of the Home Guard— (a) to give whole-time service, or (b) to live away from their homes, or (c) to carry out duties in connection with an industrial dispute, except during any period during which the platoon or other part of the Home Guard to which they belong is mustered, or during any part of such a period, and shall not require members of the Home Guard to serve outside the United Kingdom.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
