86A Preferences relating to sixth-form education: local authority arrangements
(1) A local authority shall make arrangements for enabling—
(a) a child in the authority's area to express a preference as to the school at which he wishes sixth form education to be provided for him in the exercise of the authority's functions,
(b) a parent of such a child to express a preference as to the school at which he wishes sixth form education to be so provided for his child,
(c) a relevant child to express a preference as to the school at which he wishes education other than sixth form education to be provided for him in the exercise of the authority's functions, and
(d) a parent of such a child to express a preference as to the school at which he wishes such education to be so provided for his child,
and, in each case, for enabling the person expressing the preference to give reasons for his preference.
(2) In subsection (1), “relevant child”, in relation to a local authority and any education, means a child in the authority's area who—
(a) has ceased to be of compulsory school age, or
(b) will have ceased to be of compulsory school age before the education in question is provided for him.
(3) Arrangements made under subsection (1) shall allow—
(a) a person who is to be able to express a preference under any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of that subsection to express preferences for more than one school;
(b) preferences to be expressed, in relation to a child, by both the child and a parent of his.
(4) Where—
(a) the arrangements for the admission of pupils to a maintained school provide for applications for admission to be made to (or to a person acting on behalf of) the governing body of the school, and
(b) a child (whether or not in the area of the authority maintaining the school) or his parent makes such an application,
that person shall be regarded for the purposes of this Chapter as having expressed a preference for that school in accordance with arrangements made under subsection (1).

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.
