Finance Act 1997
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 Cider labelled as strong cider.
(1) After the section 62A inserted into the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979 by section 3 above there shall be inserted the following section— Cider labelled as strong cider. 62B (1) For the purposes of this Act, any liquor which would apart from this section be standard cider and which— (a) is in an up-labelled container, or (b) has, at any time after 31st December 1996 when it was in the United Kingdom, been in an up-labelled container, shall be deemed to be strong cider, and not standard cider. (2) Accordingly, references in this Act to making cider include references to— (a) putting standard cider in an up-labelled container; or (b) causing a container in which there is standard cider to be up-labelled. (3) Where, by virtue of this section, any duty is charged under section 62 above on any cider, a rebate shall be allowed in respect of the amount of any duty charged on that cider under that section otherwise than by virtue of this section.

(5) For the purposes of this section a container is up-labelled if there is anything on— (a) the container itself, (b) a label or leaflet attached to or used with the container, or (c) any packaging used for or in association with the container, which states or tends to suggest that the strength of any liquor in that container falls within the strong cider strength range. (6) For the purposes of subsection (5) above, a strength falls within the strong cider strength range if it exceeds 7.5 per cent. but is less than 8.5 per cent. (2) This section shall be deemed to have come into force on 1st January 1997.

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.
