Infrastructure (Financial Assistance) Act 2012
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
2 Limit on expenditure and liabilities
(1) The amount of the Government's expenditure and liabilities under this Act must not at any time exceed £50,000 million. (2) For this purpose the amount of the Government's expenditure and liabilities under this Act is the aggregate of— (a) the expenditure incurred by the Treasury or the Secretary of State in giving, or in connection with giving, infrastructure assistance, and (b) the current amount of the actual or contingent liabilities of the Treasury or the Secretary of State in respect of infrastructure assistance, less any sums received by the Treasury or the Secretary of State in connection with infrastructure assistance. (3) Where any expenditure, liabilities or sums mentioned in subsection (2) are in currencies other than sterling, their amount in sterling is to be determined for the purposes of subsection (1) at what appears to the Treasury to be the appropriate rate of exchange. (4) The Treasury may by order made by statutory instrument substitute a greater amount for the amount for the time being specified in subsection (1). (5) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (4) may not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been laid before and approved by a resolution of the House of Commons.

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.
