Propose a change

Small Holdings Act 1892

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.

What to do with it
As published

7 Rules as to mode and conditions of sale.

Every county council acquiring land under this Act shall make rules for carrying into effect this Act, except as otherwise provided, and in particular— (a) as to the manner in which holdings are to be sold or let or offered for sale or letting; and (b) as to the notice to be given of the offer for sale or letting; and (c) for guarding against any small holding being let or sold to a person who is unable to cultivate it properly, and otherwise for securing the proper cultivation of a holding.

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.

Think it through

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.
