Law Officers Act 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 The Attorney General and the Solicitor General.
(1) Any function of the Attorney General may be exercised by the Solicitor General. (2) Anything done by or in relation to the Solicitor General in the exercise of or in connection with a function of the Attorney General has effect as if done by or in relation to the Attorney General. (3) The validity of anything done in relation to the Attorney General, or done by or in relation to the Solicitor General, is not affected by a vacancy in the office of Attorney General. (4) Nothing in this section— (a) prevents anything being done by or in relation to the Attorney General in the exercise of or in connection with any function of his; or (b) requires anything done by the Solicitor General to be done in the name of the Solicitor General instead of the name of the Attorney General. (5) It is immaterial for the purposes of this section whether a function of the Attorney General arises under an enactment or otherwise.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
