Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002
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
171 Power to prescribe additional or different requirements
(1) The appropriate national authority may by regulations prescribe requirements which must be met before a right of re-entry or forfeiture may be exercised in relation to a breach of a covenant or condition in a long lease of an unmortgaged dwelling. (2) The regulations may specify that the requirements are to be in addition to, or instead of, requirements imposed otherwise than by the regulations. (3) In this section “long lease of a dwelling” does not include— (a) a tenancy to which Part 2 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (c. 56) (business tenancies) applies, (b) a tenancy of an agricultural holding within the meaning of the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 (c. 5) in relation to which that Act applies, or (c) a farm business tenancy within the meaning of the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 (c. 8). (4) For the purposes of this section a dwelling is unmortgaged if it is not subject to a mortgage, charge or lien. (5) In this section— “dwelling” has the same meaning as in the 1985 Act, and “long lease” has the meaning given by sections 76 and 77 of this Act, except that a shared ownership lease is a long lease whatever the tenant’s total share.

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.
