Statistics of Trade Act 1947
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.

11 Orders.
(1) The Board of Trade may by order make provision— (a) for prescribing, either generally or with respect to any class or description of persons or undertakings, anything which under this Act is to be prescribed; (b) generally for carrying the purposes of this Act into effect. (2) All orders made by the Board under this Act, other than orders made under section nine of this Act, shall be laid before Parliament immediately after they are made, and if either House of Parliament, within the period of forty days beginning with the day on which any such order is laid before it, resolves that the order be annulled, the order shall cease to have effect but without prejudice to anything previously done thereunder or to the making of a new order. In reckoning any such period of forty days, no account shall be taken of any time during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses are adjourned for more than four days. (3) Any order under this Act may be revoked or varied by a subsequent order made in like manner and subject to the like conditions as the original order.

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.
