Policyholders Protection Act 1975 (repealed)
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
8 General policies other than compulsory insurance policies.
(1) This section applies to any general policy other than a policy to which section 6 above applies. (2) Subject to sections 9, 13 and 14 below, it shall be the duty of the Board to secure that a sum equal to ninety per cent. of the amount of any liability of a company in liquidation towards a private policyholder under the terms of any policy to which this section applies which was a United Kingdom policy at the beginning of the liquidation is paid to the policyholder as soon as reasonably practicable after the beginning of the liquidation. (3) In subsection (2) above “private policyholder” has the same meaning as in section 6(6) above. (4) In this Act “general policy” means any policy evidencing a contract the effecting of which constituted the carrying on of general business of any class, other than class 5, 6, 7, 11 or 12, not being a contract of reinsurance.

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.
