Postal Services Act 2011
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
61 Duties in relation to social and environmental matters

(3) Before giving any such guidance, the Secretary of State must consult— (a) OFCOM, (b) Citizens Advice, (ba) Consumer Scotland, (bb) if the guidance relates to Northern Ireland, the General Consumer Council for Northern Ireland, and (c) such other persons as the Secretary of State considers appropriate.

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.
