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.

(1) If— (a) a person who is a United Kingdom national or is habitually resident in England and Wales does an act in a country outside the United Kingdom, (b) the act constitutes an offence under the law in force in that country, and (c) the act, if done in England and Wales, would constitute an offence to which this subsection applies, the person is guilty in England and Wales of that offence. (2) The offences to which subsection (1) applies are— (a) murder; (b) manslaughter; (c) an offence under section 18, 20 or 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (offences relating to bodily harm or injury); (d) an offence under section 23 or 24 of that Act (administering poison); (e) an offence under section 1 of the Infant Life (Preservation) Act 1929 (child destruction). (3) Subsection (1) does not apply where a person would, in the absence of that subsection, be guilty of an offence of murder or manslaughter under the law of England and Wales.

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.
