Reserve Forces Act 1996
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
2 Membership of the reserve forces.
(1) The reserve forces shall each consist of officers and men. (2) The men of the Royal Fleet Reserve, the Regular Reserve and the Air Force Reserve (referred to in this Act as “the ex-regular reserve forces”) may only be— (a) men transferred to that force under regulations made under section 331 of the Armed Forces Act 2006; (b) men enlisted or re-engaged in that force. (3) The men of the Royal Naval Reserve, the Royal Marines Reserve, the Army Reserve and the Royal Auxiliary Air Force (referred to in this Act as “the volunteer reserve forces”) may only be men enlisted or re-engaged in that force.

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.
