Broadcasting Act 1996
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
121 Certain statements etc. protected by qualified privilege for purposes of defamation.
(1) For the purposes of the law relating to defamation— (a) publication of any statement in the course of the consideration by OFCOM of, and their adjudication on, a fairness complaint, (b) publication by OFCOM of directions under section 119(1) relating to a fairness complaint, or (c) publication of a report of OFCOM , so far as the report relates to fairness complaints, is privileged unless the publication is shown to be made with malice. (2) Nothing in subsection (1) shall be construed as limiting any privilege subsisting apart from that subsection.

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.
