Policing and Crime Act 2009
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

After section 53 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (c. 42) insert— Paying for sexual services of a prostitute subjected to force etc. 53A (1) A person (A) commits an offence if— (a) A makes or promises payment for the sexual services of a prostitute (B), (b) a third person (C) has engaged in exploitative conduct of a kind likely to induce or encourage B to provide the sexual services for which A has made or promised payment, and (c) C engaged in that conduct for or in the expectation of gain for C or another person (apart from A or B). (2) The following are irrelevant— (a) where in the world the sexual services are to be provided and whether those services are provided, (b) whether A is, or ought to be, aware that C has engaged in exploitative conduct. (3) C engages in exploitative conduct if— (a) C uses force, threats (whether or not relating to violence) or any other form of coercion, or (b) C practises any form of deception. (4) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.

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.
