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
As published
50 Term of service in Royal Naval Reserve and Royal Fleet Reserve.
(1) Every man joining the Royal Naval Reserve shall be entered for a term of 5 years, and shall continue subject to this Act as a man of that reserve during and for no longer than that term, except as otherwise provided by this Act.
(2) A man entitled to claim his discharge under subsection (1) above shall continue subject to the provisions of this Act as a man of the Royal Naval Reserve until actually discharged from that reserve by the Defence Council, or by some officer duly appointed by the defence Council to give such discharges.
(3) The term of service of a man joining the Royal Fleet Reserve shall be regulated—
(a) in the case of a pensioner entitled to his pension subject to a condition of service in the Royal Fleet Reserve, by the conditions attached to the pension; and
(b) in any other case, by the terms of his enlistment.
(4) For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that subsections (1) and (3) above do not apply to any man being entered or re-entered for service in the Royal Naval Reserve or the Royal Fleet Reserve if, after being so entered or re-entered for service, he would not be a transitional member as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 9 to the Reserve Forces Act 1996.

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.
