Government Annuities Act 1929
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.

(2), (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4) An account of all moneys . . . paid into the fund and of the disposal thereof, and of all contracts for the grant of deferred annuities and insurances charged on the fund made in any calendar year, shall be laid before Parliament not later than the thirty-first day of March next following, showing— (a) the amount of receipts during the year on contracts; (b) the number and amount of payments made on account of contracts during the year; (c) the amount of expenses during the year; (d) the number and amount of new contracts entered into; (e) the total number and amount of all current contracts at the end of the year; (f) the whole amount of capital . . . ; (g) the average rate of interest received upon each class of investments; (h) the table of mortality and the rate of interest used in calculating the premiums. (5) The Commissioners shall prepare and transmit to the Treasury at the end of every five years a statement of the result of a valuation of the engagements entered into and the liabilities incurred during the preceding five years, and the assets applicable to meet the same, and if it appears that the amount of the liabilities is greater than that of the assets, the Treasury shall charge the deficiency upon the Consolidated Fund, and if it appears that the value of the assets is more than sufficient to discharge the liabilities, the Treasury shall direct that there be cancelled out of the securities held by the Commissioners an amount not exceeding four-fifths of that surplus. (6) The Treasury shall, upon being satisfied at any time that the assets are not sufficient to meet the liabilities and upon a certificate to that effect under the hand of the Comptroller-General acting under the Commissioners, direct such sums to be issued out of the Consolidated Fund . . . as may be necessary to meet the liabilities: Provided that no such sums shall be issued as, taken together, exceed the amount charged upon the Consolidated Fund under this section.

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.
