Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
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.

7 Persons ceasing to be exempt.
In the 1971 Act, after section 8, insert— Persons ceasing to be exempt. 8A (1) A person is exempt for the purposes of this section if he is exempt from provisions of this Act as a result of section 8(2) or (3). (2) If a person who is exempt— (a) ceases to be exempt, and (b) requires leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as a result, he is to be treated as if he had been given leave to remain in the United Kingdom for a period of 90 days beginning on the day on which he ceased to be exempt. (3) If— (a) a person who is exempt ceases to be exempt, and (b) there is in force in respect of him leave for him to enter or remain in the United Kingdom which expires before the end of the period mentioned in subsection (2), his leave is to be treated as expiring at the end of that period.

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.
