Social Security Act 1981
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
2 Maternity pay.
In section 35 of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 (calculation of maternity pay by reference to amount of employee’s weekly pay) the following subsections are inserted at the end— (5) The Secretary of State may by order amend subsection (1) above— (a) by substituting for the fraction of nine-tenths referred to there, or the fraction as substituted from time to time under this subsection, such greater fraction as he considers appropriate ; or (b) by deleting the reference to a fraction. (6) No order shall be made under subsection (5) above unless a draft of the order has been laid before Parliament and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.

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.
