Jobseekers Act 1995
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.

17 Reduced payments.
(1) Regulations may provide for the amount of an income-based jobseeker’s allowance payable in respect of any young person to whom this section applies to be reduced— (a) in such circumstances, (b) by such a percentage, and (c) for such a period, as may be prescribed. (1A) Regulations may provide for the amount of a joint-claim jobseeker’s allowance payable in respect of any joint-claim couple where a member of the couple is a young person to whom this section applies to be reduced— (a) in such circumstances, (b) by such a percentage, and (c) for such a period, as may be prescribed. (2) This section applies to any young person in respect of whom— (a) a direction is in force under section 16; and (b) any of the conditions mentioned in subsection (3) is satisfied. (3) The conditions are that— (a) the young person was previously entitled to an income-based jobseeker’s allowance and that entitlement ceased by virtue of the revocation of a direction under section 16; (b) he has given up a place on a training scheme, or failed to attend such a scheme on which he has been given a place, and no certificate has been issued to him under subsection (4); (c) he has lost his place on such a scheme through misconduct. (4) Where a young person who has given up a place on a training scheme, or failed to attend such a scheme on which he has been given a place— (a) claims that there was a good reason for his doing so; and (b) applies to the Secretary of State for a certificate under this subsection, the Secretary of State shall, if he is satisfied that there was a good reason, issue a certificate to that effect and give a copy of it to the young person. (5) In this section— “training scheme” has such meaning as may be prescribed; “young person” means a person who has reached the age of 16 but not the age of 18.

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.
