Propose a change

Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974 (repealed 16.10.1992)

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.

What to do with it
As published

15 Peaceful picketing.

(1) It shall be lawful for a person in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute to attend— (a) at or near his own place of work, or (b) if he is an official of a trade union, at or near the place of work of a member of that union whom he is accompanying and whom he represents, for the purpose only of peacefully obtaining or communicating information, or peacefully persuading any person to work or abstain from working. (2) If a person works or normally works— (a) otherwise than at any one place, or (b) at a place the location of which is such that attendance there for a purpose mentioned in subsection (1) above is impracticable, his place of work for the purposes of that subsection shall be any premises of his employer from which he works or from which his work is administered. (3) In the case of a worker who is not in employment where— (a) last employment was terminated in connection with a trade dispute, or (b) the termination of his employment was one of the circumstances giving rise to a trade dispute, subsection (1) above shall in relation to that dispute have effect as if any reference to his place of work were a reference to his former place of work. (4) A person who is an official of a trade union by virtue only of having been elected or appointed to be a representative of some of the members of the union shall be regarded for the purposes of subsection (1) above as representing only those members; but otherwise an official of a trade union shall be regarded for those purposes as representing all its members.

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.

Think it through

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.
