Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000
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
As published
4D 5-yearly review and designation of statement
(1) The Secretary of State must review a statement designated under section 4A if a period of 5 years has elapsed since—
(a) the time when the statement was first designated under section 4A, or
(b) if later, the time when the statement was last designated under that section by virtue of this section or section 4E.
(2) But where—
(a) the statement was last designated by virtue of section 4E, and
(b) the case was one in which the Secretary of State made a determination under section 4E(5) (disapplication of consultation and other pre-designation requirements on revision of statement),
the designation of the statement in that case is to be ignored in determining for the purposes of subsection (1)(b) when the statement was last designated.
(3) A review under subsection (1) must take place as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the 5-year period referred to in that subsection.
(4) After reviewing the statement, the Secretary of State may—
(a) revise the statement,
(b) leave the statement as it is, or
(c) withdraw the statement’s designation under section 4A.
(5) Where the Secretary of State proceeds under subsection (4)(a) or (b)—
(a) the Secretary of State must designate the statement (whether or not revised) under section 4A(1);
(b) if the statement is not designated before the end of the review period, the designation of the statement (in the form reviewed under subsection (1)) is treated as withdrawn at the end of that period.
(6) “The review period” means the 12 months beginning with the end of the 5-year period referred to in subsection (1).
(7) Sections 4A(2) to (7) and 4C apply in relation to the statement and its designation in accordance with subsection (5)(a) as they apply in relation to the original statement.

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.
