Welfare Reform Act 2007
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 Duration of contributory allowance
(1) The period for which a person is entitled to a contributory allowance an employment and support allowance by virtue of the first and second conditions set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1 shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the relevant maximum number of days in any period for which his entitlement is established by reference (under the second condition set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1) to the same two tax years. (2) In subsection (1) the “relevant maximum number of days” is— (a) 365 days, or (b) if the Secretary of State by order specifies a greater number of days, that number of days. (3) The fact that a person's entitlement to a contributory allowance an employment and support allowance has ceased as a result of subsection (1) does not prevent his being entitled to a further such allowance if— (a) he satisfies the first and second conditions set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1, and (b) the two tax years by reference to which he satisfies the second condition include at least one year which is later than the second of the two years by reference to which (under the second condition) his previous entitlement was established. (4) The period for which a person is entitled to a contributory allowance an employment and support allowance by virtue of the third condition set out in Part 1 of Schedule 1 (youth) shall not exceed— (a) 365 days, or (b) if the Secretary of State by order specifies a greater number of days, that number of days. (5) In calculating for the purposes of subsection (1) or (4) the length of the period for which a person is entitled to a contributory allowance an employment and support allowance, the following are not to be counted— (a) days in which the person is a member of the support group, (b) days not falling within paragraph (a) in respect of which the person is entitled to the support component referred to in section 2(1)(b), and (c) days in the assessment phase, where the days immediately following that phase fall within paragraph (a) or (b). (6) In calculating for the purposes of subsection (1) or (4) the length of the period for which a person is entitled to a contributory allowance an employment and support allowance, days occurring before the coming into force of this section are to be counted (as well as those occurring afterwards).

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.
