Law of Property (Joint Tenants) Act 1964
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
1 Assumptions on sale of land by survivor of joint tenants.
(1) For the purposes of section 36(2) of the Law of Property Act 1925, as amended by section 7 of and the Schedule to the Law of Property (Amendment) Act 1926, the survivor of two or more joint tenants shall, in favour of a purchaser of the legal estate, be deemed to be solely and beneficially interested if . . . the conveyance includes a statement that he is so interested. Provided that the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall not apply if, at any time before the date of the conveyance by the survivor— (a) a memorandum of severance (that is to say a note or memorandum signed by the joint tenants or one of them and recording that the joint tenancy was severed in equity on a date therein specified) had been endorsed on or annexed to the conveyance by virtue of which the legal estate was vested in the joint tenants; or (b) a bankruptcy order made against any of the joint tenants, or an application or a petition for such an order, had been registered under the Land Charges Act 1925, being an order , application or petition of which the purchaser has notice, by virtue of the registration, on the date of the conveyance by the survivor. (2) The foregoing provisions of this section shall apply with the necessary modifications in relation to a conveyance by the personal representatives of the survivor of joint tenants as they apply in relation to a conveyance by such a survivor.

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.
