Broadcasting Act 1990
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
162 Obscenity in programme services: England and Wales.
(1) In section 1 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 (test of obscenity)— (a) the proviso to subsection (3) (exemption for television and sound broadcasting) shall cease to have effect; and (b) the following subsections shall be added after that subsection— (4) For the purposes of this Act a person also publishes an article to the extent that any matter recorded on it is included by him in a programme included in a programme service.

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.
