Freedom of Information Act 2000
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.

48 Recommendations as to good practice.
(1) If it appears to the Commission that the practice of a public authority in relation to the exercise of its functions under this Act does not conform with that proposed in the codes of practice under sections 45 and 46, the Commission may give to the authority a recommendation (in this section referred to as a “practice recommendation”) specifying the steps which ought in the Commission’s opinion to be taken for promoting such conformity. (2) A practice recommendation must be given in writing and must refer to the particular provisions of the code of practice with which, in the Commission’s opinion, the public authority’s practice does not conform. (3) Before giving to a public authority other than the Public Record Office a practice recommendation which relates to conformity with the code of practice under section 46 in respect of records which are public records for the purposes of the Public Records Act 1958, the Commission shall consult the Keeper of Public Records. (4) Before giving to a public authority other than the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland a practice recommendation which relates to conformity with the code of practice under section 46 in respect of records which are public records for the purposes of the Public Records Act (Northern Ireland) 1923, the Commission shall consult the Deputy Keeper of the Records of Northern Ireland.

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.
