European Parliament (Pay and Pensions) 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.

1 Salaries of Representatives.
(1) A salary shall be payable to every Representative in accordance with this section. (2) The yearly rate of the salary payable to a Representative for any period shall be the same as that of the salary payable for that period, under section 4 of the Parliamentary Standards Act 2009, to a Member who does not hold an office or position specified in a resolution of the House of Commons for the purposes of section 4A(2) of that Act (higher salaries for holders of specified offices or positions). (3) The salary payable under this section to a Representative shall be payable— (a) in the case of a Representative elected at a general election of representatives to the Assembly, for the period beginning with the opening of the first session of the Assembly following his election and ending with— (i) the day before the opening of the first session of the Assembly following the next such general election; or (ii) if he ceases to be a Representative before that day, his last day as a Representative; (b) in the case of a Representative elected otherwise than at such a general election, for the period beginning with the day of his election and ending as mentioned in paragraph (a). (4) The salary payable under this section to a Representative shall be payable in sterling monthly in arrears, the payments being made into such account at a bank in the United Kingdom as he may nominate for the purpose. (5) If the rate of a Member’s ordinary salary for any period is changed retrospectively, the yearly rates given for that period by subsection (2) shall change accordingly. (6) This section does not apply on or after 14 July 2009, except in relation to a Representative who is an opted-out Representative. (7) An “opted-out Representative” is a Representative who exercises the option conferred by Article 25 of the Statute for Members of the European Parliament (European Parliament Decision 2005/684/EC, Euratom) (existing Representatives may opt out of new arrangements for remuneration from 14 July 2009).

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.
