Mental Capacity Act 2005
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
48 Interim orders and directions
The court may, pending the determination of an application to it in relation to a person (“P”), make an order or give directions in respect of any matter if— (a) there is reason to believe that P lacks capacity in relation to the matter, (b) the matter is one to which its powers under this Act extend, and (c) it is in P's best interests to make the order, or give the directions, without delay.

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.
