Parliamentary and other Pensions Act 1987
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) In this Act, except in so far as the context otherwise requires— “the Fund” means the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund; “the Leader of the House of Commons” means the Minister of the Crown who is for the time being designated as Leader of the House of Commons by the Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury; “modifications” includes additions, alterations and omissions, and cognate expressions shall be construed accordingly; “the Parliamentary pension scheme” means the provisions of any regulations made under section 2 above or of any enactment or subordinate legislation which by virtue of this Act has effect as if it were contained in regulations so made; “pension” includes gratuity; “subordinate legislation” has the same meaning as in the Interpretation Act 1978. (2) For the purposes of this Act a person shall be treated as a Member of the House of Commons at any time if, at that time, a salary is or was payable to him under (a) section 4 of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009, or (b) in relation to a time before that section was in force, the resolutions of the House of Commons then in force relating to the remuneration of its members.

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.
