Constitutional Reform Act 2005
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
23 The Supreme Court
(1) There is to be a Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. (2) The Court consists of the persons appointed as its judges by Her Majesty by letters patent , but no appointment may cause the full-time equivalent number of judges of the Court at any time to be more than 12. (3) Her Majesty may from time to time by Order in Council amend subsection (2) so as to increase or further increase the maximum full-time equivalent number of judges of the Court. (4) No recommendation may be made to Her Majesty in Council to make an Order under subsection (3) unless a draft of the Order has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. (5) Her Majesty may by letters patent appoint one of the judges to be President and one to be Deputy President of the Court. (6) The judges other than the President and Deputy President are to be styled “Justices of the Supreme Court”. (7) The Court is to be taken to be duly constituted despite any vacancy ... in the office of President or Deputy President. (8) For the purposes of this section, the full-time equivalent number of judges of the Court is to be calculated by taking the number of full-time judges and adding, for each judge who is not a full-time judge, such fraction as is reasonable.

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.
