Hong Kong (Overseas Public Servants) Act 1996
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
4 Pension supplements.
(1) Her Majesty may by Order in Council make provision for the making by the Secretary of State, in specified circumstances, of payments to supplement pensions and gratuities paid under any specified provision of the law of Hong Kong to or in respect of persons who— (a) have at any time been Hong Kong overseas public servants, or (b) have been on the pensionable establishment of the government of the colony of Hong Kong either as members of any of the relevant colonial Services or in specified circumstances. (2) In subsection (1)(b) “the relevant colonial Services” means the Services listed in the Schedule to the Special Regulations constituting Her Majesty’s Overseas Civil Service which were appended to Colonial No. 306 (1954).

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.
