Solomon Islands Act 1978
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.

6 Construction of nationality provisions.
(1) References in this Act to a person having or acquiring another nationality are to his being or (as the case may be) becoming a citizen of any country specified in Schedule 3 to the British Nationality Act 1981 (except Solomon Islands), or of a foreign country or of the Republic of Ireland. (2) The following provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981, namely sections 45 (evidence), 46 (offences and proceedings), 48 (posthumous children) and 50 (interpretation) shall have effect for the purposes of sections 2 to 6 of this Act as if those sections of this Act were included in that Act. (3) A person born out of wedlock and legitimated (within the meaning of section 47(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981) by the subsequent marriage of his parents shall be treated as if he had been born legitimate for any purpose of determining his status, or any change in his status, under this Act.

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.
