National Security Act 2023
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
36 Offences committed outside the United Kingdom
(1) Where an offence under this Part may be committed by conduct taking place outside the United Kingdom, it may be so committed— (a) in the case of conduct by an individual, whatever the nationality of the individual, and (b) in the case of conduct by a person other than an individual, regardless of whether the body corporate or unincorporated association is formed or recognised under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to sections 3(6) and 17(6) (commission of offences under sections 3 and 17 by conduct outside the United Kingdom). (3) Where an offence under this Part is committed outside the United Kingdom— (a) proceedings for the offence may be taken at any place in the United Kingdom, and (b) the offence may for all incidental purposes be treated as having been committed at any such place. (4) In the application of subsection (3) to Scotland, any such proceedings against a person may be taken— (a) in any sheriff court district in which the person is apprehended or is in custody, or (b) in such sheriff court district as the Lord Advocate may determine. (5) “Sheriff court district” is to be read in accordance with the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (see section 307(1) of that Act).

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.
