British Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act 1983
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
1 Acquisition of British citizenship at commencement of 1981 Act or by birth or adoption.
(1) A person shall at commencement become a British citizen if–– (a) that person becomes a British Dependent Territories citizen at commencement under section 23 of the 1981 Act (persons becoming British Dependent Territories citizens at commencement); and (b) immediately before commencement either— (i) that person was a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies who had that citizenship by his birth, naturalisation or registration in the Falkland Islands; or (ii) one of that person’s parents, or a parent of one of that person’s parents, was, or but for his death would have been, a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies who so had that citizenship; or (iii) that person, being a woman, was, or had at any time been, the wife of a man who by virtue of subparagraph (i) or (ii) becomes a British citizen at commencement or would have done so but for his death.

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.
