Local Government 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
26A Who can complain
(1) Under this Part of this Act, a complaint about a matter may only be made— (a) by a member of the public who claims to have sustained injustice in consequence of the matter, (b) by a person authorised in writing by such a member of the public to act on his behalf, or (c) in accordance with subsection (2). (2) Where a member of the public by whom a complaint about a matter might have been made under this Part of this Act has died or is otherwise unable to authorise a person to act on his behalf, the complaint may be made— (a) by his personal representative (if any), or (b) by a person who appears to a Local Commissioner to be suitable to represent him.

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.
