National Loans Act 1968
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.

9 Profits of Issue Department of Bank of England.
(1) Subject to subsection (5) below, amounts payable to the Treasury under section 6(1) of the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928 (profits of the Issue Department of the Bank of England) shall be paid into the National Loans Fund. (2) The assets held in the said Department shall be valued, at market prices, at such times and in such manner as may be agreed between the Treasury and the Bank of England, but at least once in each financial year. (3) If, as the result of any such valuation, the value of the assets then held in the said Department falls short of the total amount of the Bank of England notes then outstanding, the Treasury shall assume a liability to the said Department of an amount equal to the difference. (4) Any liability assumed under subsection (3) above— (a) shall be included among the assets held to cover the fiduciary note issue in accordance with section 3(1) of the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928, (b) shall be subject to such conditions as to repayment and other matters as may be agreed between the Bank of England and the Treasury, but shall not bear interest, (c) shall be charged on the National Loans Fund with recourse to the Consolidated Fund. (5) So long as any part of any liability assumed under subsection (3) above is outstanding, any amount due to be paid to the Treasury under section 6 (1) of the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928 shall instead be applied towards meeting that liability.

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.
