(ba) a person recognised for the purposes of Part 5A of the Banking Act 2009 (wholesale cash distribution) as having systemic significance, or (c) a company designated by the Treasury under subsection (4).

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.
