Juries Act 1974
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
9B Discharge of summonses to disabled persons only if incapable of acting effectively as a juror.

(2) The judge shall determine whether or not the person should act as a juror; but he shall affirm the summons unless he is of the opinion that the person will not, on account of his disability, be capable of acting effectively as a juror, in which case he shall discharge the summons. (3) In this section “the judge” means (a) any judge of the High Court or any Circuit judge or Recorder , or (b) subject to subsection (4), any qualifying judge advocate (within the meaning of the Senior Courts Act 1981). (4) Subsection (3)(b) applies only where the case relates to a summons to attend for jury service in the Crown Court.

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.
