Propose a change

Gambling Act 2005

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.

(3) A person does not supply or install gambling software for the purposes of subsection (1) by reason only of the facts that— (a) he makes facilities for remote communication or non-remote communication available to another person, and (b) the facilities are used by the other person to supply or install gambling software. (4) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on summary conviction to— (a) imprisonment for a term not exceeding 51 weeks, (b) a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or (c) both.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
