Local Government Act 2003
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
8 Control of credit arrangements
(1) A local authority may not enter into, or vary, a credit arrangement if doing so would result in a breach of— (a) the limit for the time being determined by or for it under section 3, or (b) any limit for the time being applicable to it under section 4 , or (c) any limit for the time being applicable to it under section 12A. (2) In applying those limits for the purposes of subsection (1)— (a) entry into a credit arrangement shall be treated as the borrowing of an amount of money equal to the cost of the arrangement, and (b) variation of a credit arrangement shall be treated as the borrowing of an amount of money equal to the cost of the variation. (3) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision about the calculation for the purposes of subsection (2) of the cost of a credit arrangement or a variation and may, in particular, make provision about the treatment of options.

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.

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.
