British Nationality Act 1981
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.

(1) The Secretary of State must arrange for a review of the operation of the relevant deprivation power to be carried out in relation to each of the following periods— (a) the initial one year period; (b) each subsequent three year period. (2) The “relevant deprivation power” is the power to make orders under section 40(2) to deprive persons of a citizenship status in the circumstances set out in section 40(4A). (3) A review must be completed as soon as practicable after the end of the period to which the review relates. (4) As soon as practicable after a person has carried out a review in relation to a particular period, the person must— (a) produce a report of the outcome of the review, and (b) send a copy of the report to the Secretary of State. (5) The Secretary of State must lay before each House of Parliament a copy of each report sent under subsection (4)(b). (6) The Secretary of State may, after consultation with the person who produced the report, exclude a part of the report from the copy laid before Parliament if the Secretary of State is of the opinion that it would be contrary to the public interest or prejudicial to national security for that part of the report to be made public. (7) The Secretary of State may— (a) make such payments as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate in connection with the carrying out of a review, and (b) make such other arrangements as the Secretary of State thinks appropriate in connection with the carrying out of a review (including arrangements for the provision of staff, other resources and facilities).

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.
