Charities Act 1992
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
63 False statements relating to institutions which are not registered charities.
(1) Where— (a) a person solicits money or other property for the benefit of an institution in association with a representation that the institution is a registered charity, and (b) the institution is not such a charity, he shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding the fifth level on the standard scale. (1A) In any proceedings for an offence under subsection (1), it shall be a defence for the accused to prove that he believed on reasonable grounds that the institution was a registered charity. (2) In this section “registered charity” means a charity which is for the time being registered in the register of charities kept under section 29 of the Charities Act 2011.

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.
