Human Rights Act 1998
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.

9 Judicial acts.
(1) Proceedings under section 7(1)(a) in respect of a judicial act may be brought only— (a) by exercising a right of appeal; (b) on an application (in Scotland a petition) for judicial review; or (c) in such other forum as may be prescribed by rules. (2) That does not affect any rule of law which prevents a court from being the subject of judicial review. (3) In proceedings under this Act in respect of a judicial act done in good faith, damages may not be awarded otherwise than— (a) to compensate a person to the extent required by Article 5(5) of the Convention, or (b) to compensate a person for a judicial act that is incompatible with Article 6 of the Convention in circumstances where the person is detained and, but for the incompatibility, the person would not have been detained or would not have been detained for so long. (4) An award of damages permitted by subsection (3) is to be made against the Crown; but no award may be made unless the appropriate person, if not a party to the proceedings, is joined. (5) In this section— “appropriate person” means the Minister responsible for the court concerned, or a person or government department nominated by him; “court” includes a tribunal; “judge” includes a member of a tribunal, a justice of the peace (or, in Northern Ireland, a lay magistrate) and a clerk or other officer entitled to exercise the jurisdiction of a court; “judicial act” means a judicial act of a court and includes an act done on the instructions, or on behalf, of a judge; and “rules” has the same meaning as in section 7(9).

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.
