British Nationality 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.

2 Renunciation of citizenship.
(1) A declaration of renunciation of citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies may be made under section 19 of the principal Act by a person who is not a citizen or national of any other country and shall, if so made, be registered under that section if, but only if, the Secretary of State is satisfied that that person will after the registration become a citizen or national of some other country; and if that person does not become such a citizen or national within six months from the date of registration he shall be, and be deemed to have remained, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies notwithstanding the registration. (2) The Secretary of State may make arrangements for the exercise in any country mentioned in section 1(3) of the principal Act of any of his functions under the said section 19 by the High Commissioner or acting High Commissioner for Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom.

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.
