London Cab and Stage Carriage Act 1907
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
2 Abolition of privileged cab system.
(1) In the admission of cabs to a railway, or in the treatment of cabs while in a railway station, the company having the control of the station shall not show any preference to any cab, or give any cab a privilege, which is not given to other cabs ; and where any charge is made in respect of the admission of any cab to a railway station for the purpose of plying for hire therein, the charge made shall not exceed such sum as may be allowed by Transport for London. (2) If it is proved to the satisfaction of Transport for London that it will not be possible to obtain a sufficient supply of cabs at a railway station for the proper accomodation of the public, unless the operation of this section is suspended or modified as respects that station, Transport for London may by London cab order so modify or suspend the operation of this section with respect to that station, subject to such conditions as may be specified in the order. (3) In this section the expression “railway station” includes the precincts thereof and the approaches thereto. (4) Nothing in this section shall affect the liability of cabs or the drivers thereof to comply with any regulations or conditions which may be made by the company having control of a railway station for the purpose of maintaining order or dealing with the traffic at such station, including regulations as to— (i) The number of cabs to be admitted at any one time ; (ii) The rejection of cabs and drivers unfit for admission ; and (iii) The expulsion of any cabman who has been guilty of misconduct, or of a breach of the company’s byelaws or regulations.

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.
