Pensions Act 2014
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
2 Entitlement to state pension at full or reduced rate
(1) A person is entitled to a state pension payable at the full rate if— (a) the person has reached pensionable age, and (b) the person has 35 or more qualifying years. (2) A person is entitled to a state pension payable at the reduced rate if— (a) the person has reached pensionable age, and (b) the person has at least the minimum number of qualifying years but fewer than 35 qualifying years. (3) The minimum number of qualifying years for a state pension payable at the reduced rate is to be specified in regulations and may not be more than 10. (4) In this Part “qualifying year” means a tax year, during a person's working life, in which the person's earnings factor (or the sum of the person's earnings factors) is equal to or greater than the qualifying earnings factor for the year. (5) For earnings factors, see sections 22 and 23 of the Contributions and Benefits Act. (6) For transitional cases in which a person may be entitled to a different state pension (instead of a state pension under this section), see sections 4 and 12. (7) There are provisions elsewhere that affect a person's entitlement to a state pension under this section or the rate at which it is payable.

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.
