8 Calculation of seat allocation figures
(1) This section and section 9 are about the allocation, to registered political parties or individual candidates, of the seats for a Senedd constituency at a general election.
(2) For each registered political party by which a list of candidates has been submitted under section 7 (candidates at general elections) for the constituency—
(a) the votes given in the constituency for the party are to be added up, and
(b) the number arrived at under paragraph (a) is to be divided by the seat allocation divisor.
(3) On the first calculation for a party under subsection (2)(b), the seat allocation divisor for the party is one (section 9 makes provision about recalculations under that subsection with an increased divisor).
(4) For each individual candidate to be a Member of the Senedd for the constituency, the votes given in the constituency for the candidate are to be added up.
(5) The number arrived at—
(a) in the case of a registered political party, under subsection (2)(b), or
(b) in the case of an individual candidate, under subsection (4),
is referred to in section 9 as the “seat allocation figure” for that party or individual candidate.

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.
