Landlord and Tenant Act 1954
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.

THIRD SCHEDULE Grounds for Possession on Termination of Tenancy
Sections 12, 13. 1 The grounds referred to in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section twelve of this Act are the following, that is to say:— (a) that suitable alternative accommodation will be available for the tenant at the date of termination of the tenancy; (b) that the tenant has failed to comply with any term of the tenancy as to payment of rent or rates or as to insuring or keeping insured any premises; (c) that the tenant or a person residing or lodging with him or being his sub-tenant has been guilty of conduct which is a nuisance or annoyance to adjoining occupiers, or has been convicted of using any premises comprised in the tenancy or allowing such premises to be used for an immoral or illegal purpose and, where the person in question is a lodger or sub-tenant, that the tenant has not taken such steps as he ought reasonably to have taken for the removal of the lodger or sub-tenant; (d) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (e) that premises comprised in the tenancy, and consisting of or including the relevant premises, are reasonably required by the landlord for occupation as a residence for— (i) himself, (ii) any son or daughter of his over eighteen years of age, (iii) his father or mother, or (iv) the father, or mother, of his spouse or civil partner, and (if the landlord is not the immediate landlord) that he will be the immediate landlord at the date of termination: Provided that the court shall not make an order under section thirteen of this Act on the grounds specified in sub-paragraph (e) of this paragraph— if the interest of the landlord, or an interest which has merged in that interest and but for the merger would be the interest of the landlord, was purchased or created after the 18th February 1966; or if the court is satisfied that having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including the question whether other accommodation is available for the landlord or the tenant, greater hardship would be caused by making the order than by refusing to make it. 2 Part IV of Schedule 15 to the Rent Act (which relates to the circumstances in which suitable accommodation is to be deemed to be available for the tenant) shall apply for the purposes of this Schedule as it applies for the purposes of section 98(1)(a) of that Act.

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.
