Criminal Attempts 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.
Change 1
1A Extended jurisdiction in relation to certain attempts.
(1) If this section applies to an act, what the person doing the act had in view shall be treated as an offence to which section 1(1) above applies. (2) This section applies to an act if— (a) it is done in England and Wales, and (b) it would fall within section 1(1) above as more than merely preparatory to the commission of a Group A offence but for the fact that that offence, if completed, would not be an offence triable in England and Wales. (3) In this section “Group A offence” has the same meaning as in Part 1 of the Criminal Justice Act 1993. (4) Subsection (1) above is subject to the provisions of section 6 of the Act of 1993 (relevance of external law). (5) Where a person does any act to which this section applies, the offence which he commits shall for all purposes be treated as the offence of attempting to commit the relevant Group A offence.

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.
