Commons Act 2006
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
7 Variation
(1) For the purposes of this section a right of common is varied if by virtue of any disposition— (a) the right becomes exercisable over new land to which this Part applies instead of all or part of the land over which it was exercisable; (b) the right becomes exercisable over new land to which this Part applies in addition to the land over which it is already exercisable; (c) there is any other alteration in what can be done by virtue of the right. (2) A right of common which is registered in a register of common land or town or village greens cannot at any time after the commencement of this section be varied so as to become exercisable over new land if that land is at the time registered as a town or village green. (3) A right of common which is registered in a register of town or village greens cannot at any time after the commencement of this section be varied so as to extend what can be done by virtue of the right. (4) The variation of a right of common which is registered in a register of common land or town or village greens— (a) only has effect if it complies with such requirements as to form and content as regulations may provide; and (b) does not operate at law until, on an application under this section, the register is amended so as to record the variation. (5) An application under this section to record a variation of a right of common consisting of a right to graze any animal is to be refused if in the opinion of the commons registration authority the land over which the right is or is to be exercisable would, in consequence of the variation, be unable to sustain the exercise of— (a) that right; and (b) if the land is already registered as common land, any other rights of common registered as exercisable over the land.

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.
