Excise Duties (Surcharges or Rebates) Act 1979
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.

(2) The Treasury may, by an order applying to one or more of the duties to which this section applies, provide for an adjustment— (a) of any liability to such a duty; and (b) of any right to a drawback, rebate or allowance in connection with such a duty, by the addition to or deduction from the amount payable or allowable of such percentage, not exceeding 10 per cent, as may be specified in the order. (3) The adjustment under this section of a liability to duty shall be made where the duty becomes due while the order is in force with respect to it ... . (4) The adjustment under this section of a right to any drawback, rebate or allowance in respect of a duty or goods charged with a duty shall be made where the right arises while the order is in force with respect to the duty (whenever the duty became due); but in calculating the amount to be adjusted any adjustment under this section of the liability to the duty shall be disregarded. (5) A repayment of any duty within a group to which this section applies or of drawback or allowance in respect of such a duty or goods chargeable with such a duty shall be calculated by reference to the amount actually paid or allowed (after effect was given to any adjustment falling to be made under this section) but save as aforesaid this section does not require the adjustment of any such repayment.

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.
