Space Industry Act 2018
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.

(2) For the purposes of this Act, a person carries out a space activity or sub-orbital activity if the person causes it to occur or is responsible for its continuing. (3) In section 1 of the Outer Space Act 1986 (activities to which that Act applies)— (a) omit “whether carried on in the United Kingdom or elsewhere”; (b) at the end of the existing text (which becomes subsection (1)) insert— (2) This Act does not apply to activities carried on in the United Kingdom (and accordingly does not apply to activities requiring authorisation under section 3(1) of the Space Industry Act 2018).

(6) Space activities and sub-orbital activities are referred to in this Act as “spaceflight activities”.

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.
