Domestic Abuse Act 2021
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.

(2) In this section “relevant court” means— (a) the High Court, (b) the family court, or (c) the county court. (3) A person mentioned in subsection (4) may apply to the relevant judge for the issue of a warrant for P's arrest if the person considers that P has failed to comply with the order or is otherwise in contempt of court in relation to the order. (4) The persons referred to in subsection (3) are— (a) the person for whose protection the order was made; (b) where the order was made under section 28, the person who applied for the order (if different); (c) any other person with the leave of the relevant judge. (5) The relevant judge may issue a warrant on an application under subsection (3) only if— (a) the application is substantiated on oath, and (b) the relevant judge has reasonable grounds for believing that P has failed to comply with the order or is otherwise in contempt of court in relation to the order. (6) If— (a) P is brought before a relevant court as a result of a warrant issued under this section, and (b) the court does not immediately dispose of the matter, the court may remand P. (7) Schedule 1 contains further provision about remand under this section. (8) In this section “the relevant judge” means— (a) where the order was made by the High Court, a judge of that court; (b) where the order was made by the family court, a judge of that court; (c) where the order was made by the county court, a judge of that court. (9) For the power of a constable to arrest P without warrant for breach of a domestic abuse protection order, see section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.

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.
