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
8 Licences and exemptions
(1) It is unlawful— (a) to establish or use a wireless telegraphy station, or (b) to instal or use wireless telegraphy apparatus, except under and in accordance with a licence (a “wireless telegraphy licence”) granted under this section by OFCOM. (2) Subsection (1) does not apply to— (a) the use of a television receiver (within the meaning of Part 4 of the Communications Act 2003) for receiving a television programme; or (b) the installation of a television receiver for use solely for that purpose. (3) OFCOM may by regulations exempt from subsection (1) the establishment, installation or use of wireless telegraphy stations or wireless telegraphy apparatus of such classes or descriptions as may be specified in the regulations, either absolutely or subject to such terms, provisions and limitations as may be so specified.

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.
