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.
Change 1
40 Transitional provisions.
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations make such transitional provision, consequential provision or savings as he considers necessary or expedient for the purposes of or in connection with— (a) the coming into force of any provision of this Act; or (b) the operation of any enactment repealed or amended by any such provision during any period when the repeal or amendment is not wholly in force. (2) Regulations under this section may in particular make provision— (a) for the termination or cancellation of awards of unemployment benefit or income support; (b) for a person whose award of unemployment benefit or income support has been terminated or cancelled under regulations made by virtue of paragraph (a) to be treated as having been awarded a jobseeker’s allowance (a “transitional allowance")— (i) of such a kind, (ii) for such period, (iii) of such an amount, and (iv) subject to such conditions, as may be determined in accordance with the regulations; (c) for a person’s continuing entitlement to a transitional allowance to be determined by reference to such provision as may be made by the regulations; (d) for the termination of an award of a transitional allowance; (e) for the review of an award of a transitional allowance; (f) for a contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance not to be payable for a prescribed period where a person is disqualified for receiving unemployment benefit; (g) that days which were days of unemployment for the purposes of entitlement to unemployment benefit, and such other days as may be prescribed, are to be treated as having been days during which a person was, or would have been, entitled to a jobseeker’s allowance; (h) that days which were days of entitlement to unemployment benefit, and such other days as may be prescribed, are to be treated as having been days of entitlement to a contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance; (i) that the rate of a contribution-based transitional allowance is to be calculated by reference to the rate of unemployment benefit paid or payable.

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.

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.
