Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Act 2023
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 Prohibition on advertising of low-welfare animal activities
(1) For the purposes of this section an advertisement is a prohibited advertisement in a relevant part of the United Kingdom if the advertisement has the purpose or effect of promoting the observation of, or participation in, an activity which— (a) involves an animal, (b) takes place outside the United Kingdom, and (c) is of a description specified for that part of the United Kingdom by activity regulations. (2) A person commits an offence if, in the course of a business, the person— (a) publishes in a relevant part of the United Kingdom an advertisement that is a prohibited advertisement in that part, or (b) causes such an advertisement to be so published. (3) A person commits an offence if, in the course of a business, the person— (a) prints in a relevant part of the United Kingdom an advertisement published in that part of the United Kingdom that is a prohibited advertisement in that part, or (b) causes such an advertisement to be so printed. (4) A person commits an offence if, in the course of a business, the person— (a) distributes in a relevant part of the United Kingdom an advertisement published in that part of the United Kingdom that is a prohibited advertisement in that part, or (b) causes such an advertisement to be so distributed. (5) A person does not commit an offence under subsection (2) or (4) if the advertisement is contained in a publication (other than an in-flight magazine)— (a) which is printed outside a relevant part of the United Kingdom, and (b) whose principal market is not, or does not include, a relevant part of the United Kingdom or any part of one. (6) A person does not commit an offence under subsection (4) if— (a) the distribution is by means of electronic transmission, and (b) the person did not carry on business in a relevant part of the United Kingdom at the time of the distribution.

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.
