Propose a change

Representation of the People Act 1983

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

What to do with it
As published

98 Premises not affected for rates.

The use of any premises for the holding of public meetings in furtherance of any person’s candidature at a parliamentary or local government election does not render any person liable to be rated or to pay any rate for the premises.

Your change, as a redline

98 Premises not affected for rates.

The use of any premises for the holding of public meetings in furtherance of any person’s candidature at a parliamentary or local government election does not render any person liable to be rated or to pay any rate for the premises.

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.
