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
71J Guarantees and securities: unauthorised participants
(1) This section applies if—
(a) a registered party and another person (A) enter into a transaction of a description mentioned in section 71F(4)(a),
(b) A is party to a regulated transaction of a description mentioned in section 71F(4)(b) (“the connected transaction”) with another person (B), and
(c) B is not an authorised participant.
(2) Section 71I(2) to (5) applies to the transaction mentioned in subsection (1)(a).
(3) The connected transaction is void.
(4) Subsection (5) applies if (but only if) A is unable to recover from the party the whole of the money mentioned in section 71I(3)(a) (as applied by subsection (2) above), along with such interest as is there mentioned.
(5) Despite subsection (3), A is entitled to recover from B any part of that money (and such interest) that is not recovered from the party.
(6) Subsection (5) does not entitle A to recover more than the contingent liability under the security provided by virtue of the connected transaction.
(7) In the case of a connected transaction where B—
(a) at the time A enters into the transaction, is an authorised participant, but
(b) subsequently, for whatever reason, ceases to be an authorised participant,
subsections (2) to (6) apply with effect from the time when B ceased to be an authorised participant.
(8) This section does not apply to a regulated transaction if it was entered into before the commencement of section 61 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006.
(9) If the transaction mentioned in section 71F(4)(a) is not a regulated transaction of a description mentioned in section 71F(2) or (3), references in this section and section 71I(2) to (5) (as applied by subsection (2) above) to the repayment or recovery of money must be construed as references to (as the case may be)—
(a) the return or recovery of any property provided under the transaction,
(b) to the extent that such property is incapable of being returned or recovered or its market value has diminished since the time the transaction was entered into, the repayment or recovery of the market value at that time, or
(c) the market value (at that time) of any facilities or services provided under the transaction.

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.
