International Development 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
1 Development assistance
(1) The Minister may provide any person or body with development assistance if the Minister is satisfied that the provision of the assistance is likely to contribute to a reduction in poverty. (1A) Before providing development assistance under subsection (1), the Minister shall have regard to the desirability of providing development assistance that is likely to contribute to reducing poverty in a way which is likely to contribute to reducing inequality between persons of different gender. (2) In this Act “development assistance” means assistance provided for the purpose of— (a) furthering sustainable development in one or more countries outside the United Kingdom, or (b) improving the welfare of the population of one or more such countries. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(a) “sustainable development” includes any development that is, in the opinion of the Minister, prudent having regard to the likelihood of its generating lasting benefits for the population of the country or countries in relation to which it is provided. (4) In this Act, “the Minister” means the Secretary of State or the Treasury.

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.
