Criminal Jurisdiction Act 1975
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
1 Criminal liability for offences in the Republic of Ireland.
(1) Any act or omission which— (a) takes place in the Republic of Ireland, and (b) would, if taking place in Northern Ireland, constitute an offence described in Part I of Schedule 1 to this Act, shall, for the purposes of the law of Northern Ireland, constitute that offence. (2) The law applied by subsection (1) above shall be construed in accordance with Part II of the said Schedule 1. (3) In this Act “extra-territorial offence” means— (a) any offence under subsection (1) above (read with Schedule 1), (b) any offence in the Republic of Ireland under section 2 of this Act, (c) any offence under section 3 of this Act, (d) any offence defined as an extra-territorial offence by section 6(3) of this Act. (4) Liability for an extra-territorial offence (as defined by subsection (3) above) attaches irrespective of the nationality of the offender, and notwithstanding the provisions of section 3 of the British Nationality Act 1948 (limitation of criminal liability of certain persons who are not citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies). (5) Proceedings for an extra-territorial offence may be taken, and the offence may for the purposes of those proceedings be treated as having been committed, in any place in Northern Ireland.

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.
