Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010
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
20 Treaties to be laid before Parliament before ratification
(1) Subject to what follows, a treaty is not to be ratified unless— (a) a Minister of the Crown has laid before Parliament a copy of the treaty, (b) the treaty has been published in a way that a Minister of the Crown thinks appropriate, and (c) period A has expired without either House having resolved, within period A, that the treaty should not be ratified. (2) Period A is the period of 21 sitting days beginning with the first sitting day after the date on which the requirement in subsection (1)(a) is met. (3) Subsections (4) to (6) apply if the House of Commons resolved as mentioned in subsection (1)(c) (whether or not the House of Lords also did so). (4) The treaty may be ratified if— (a) a Minister of the Crown has laid before Parliament a statement indicating that the Minister is of the opinion that the treaty should nevertheless be ratified and explaining why, and (b) period B has expired without the House of Commons having resolved, within period B, that the treaty should not be ratified. (5) Period B is the period of 21 sitting days beginning with the first sitting day after the date on which the requirement in subsection (4)(a) is met. (6) A statement may be laid under subsection (4)(a) in relation to the treaty on more than one occasion. (7) Subsection (8) applies if— (a) the House of Lords resolved as mentioned in subsection (1)(c), but (b) the House of Commons did not. (8) The treaty may be ratified if a Minister of the Crown has laid before Parliament a statement indicating that the Minister is of the opinion that the treaty should nevertheless be ratified and explaining why. (9) “Sitting day” means a day on which both Houses of Parliament sit.

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.
