Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006
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.
Change 1
79 Broadcasting from prescribed areas of high seas
(1) It is unlawful— (a) to make a broadcast that is capable of being received in the United Kingdom, or (b) to make a broadcast that causes interference with any wireless telegraphy in the United Kingdom, from a ship (other than a British-registered ship) while it is within a prescribed area of the high seas. (2) If a broadcast is made in contravention of subsection (1), an offence is committed by— (a) the owner of the ship from which the broadcast is made; (b) the master of the ship; and (c) a person who operates, or participates in the operation of, apparatus by means of which the broadcast is made. (3) A person commits an offence if he procures a broadcast to be made in contravention of subsection (1). (4) The making of a broadcast does not contravene subsection (1) if it is shown to have been authorised under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. (5) “Prescribed” means prescribed for the purposes of this section by an order made by the Secretary of State.

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.
