Registered Designs Act 1949
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
3B Modification of applications for registration.
(1) The registrar may, at any time before an application for the registration of a designor designs is determined, permit the applicant to make such modifications of the application as the registrar thinks fit. (2) Where an application for the registration of a designor designs has been modified before it has been determined in such a way that any design included in the application has been altered significantly, the registrar may, for the purpose of deciding whether and to what extent the design is new or has individual character, direct that the applicationso far as relating to that design shall be treated as having been made on the date on which it was so modified. (3) Where— (a) an application for the registration of more than one design has been modified before it has been determined to exclude one or more designs from the application; and (b) a subsequent application for the registration of a design so excluded has, within such period (if any) as has been prescribed for such applications, been made by the person who made the earlier application or his successor in title, the registrar may, for the purpose of deciding whether and to what extent the design is new or has individual character, direct that the subsequent application shall be treated as having been made on the date on which the earlier application was, or is treated as having been, made. (4) Where ... the registration of a design has been refused on any ground mentioned in section 3A(4)(b) or (c) of this Act, the applicationfor the design may be modified by the applicant if it appears to the registrar that— (a) the identity of the design is retained; and (b) the modifications have been made in accordance with any rules made under this Act. (5) An application modified under subsection (4) above shall be treated as the original application and, in particular, as made on the date on which the original application was made or is treated as having been made. (6) Any modification under this section may, in particular, be effected by making a partial disclaimer in relation to the application.

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.
