Legal Services Act 2007
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.

50 Policy statements: procedure
(1) Before issuing a statement under section 49, the Board must publish a draft of the proposed statement. (2) The draft must be accompanied by a notice which states that representations about the proposals may be made to the Board within a specified period. (3) Before issuing the statement, the Board must have regard to any representations duly made. (4) If the statement differs from the draft published under subsection (1) in a way which is, in the opinion of the Board, material, the Board must publish details of the differences. (5) The Board may make a reasonable charge for providing a person with a copy of a draft published under subsection (1).

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.
