European Assembly Elections Act 1978 (Repealed)
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
4 Double voting.
(1) Without prejudice to any enactment relating to voting offences as applied by regulations under this Act to elections of MEPs held in the United Kingdom, a person shall be guilty of an offence if, on any occasion when under Article 9 elections to the Assembly are held in all the member States, he votes otherwise than as a proxy more than once in those elections, whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. (2) The provisions of the Representation of the People Act 1983 as applied by regulations under this Act shall have effect in relation to an offence under this section as they have effect in relation to an offence under section 61(2) of that Act (double voting); and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing provision, section 61(7) of that Act (which makes such an offence an illegal practice but allows any incapacity resulting from conviction to be mitigated by the convicting court) and section 178 of that Act (prosecutions for offences committed outside the United Kingdom) shall apply accordingly.

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.
