Family Law Act 1986
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
34 Power to order recovery of child.
(1) Where— (a) a person is required by a Part I order, or an order for the enforcement of a Part I order, to give up a child to another person (“the person concerned”), and (b) the court which made the order imposing the requirement is satisfied that the child has not been given up in accordance with the order, the court may make an order authorising an officer of the court or a constable to take charge of the child and deliver him to the person concerned. (2) The authority conferred by subsection (1) above includes authority— (a) to enter and search any premises where the person acting in pursuance of the order has reason to believe the child may be found, and (b) to use such force as may be necessary to give effect to the purpose of the order. (3) Where by virtue of— (a) section 14 of the Children Act 1989 (b) Article 14 (enforcement of residence orders) of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, a Part I order (or a provision of a Part I order) may be enforced as if it were an order requiring a person to give up a child to another person, subsection (1) above shall apply as if the Part I order had included such a requirement. (4) This section is without prejudice to any power conferred on a court by or under any other enactment or rule of law.

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.
