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.

As published
35 Interim measures.
(1) Subject to subsection (8), this section applies if the CMA has begun an investigation under section 25 and not completed it (but only applies so long as the CMA has power under section 25 to conduct that investigation).
(2) If the CMA considers that it is necessary for it to act under this section as a matter of urgency for the purpose—
(a) of preventing significant damage to a particular person or category of person, or
(b) of protecting the public interest,
it may give such directions as it considers appropriate for that purpose.
(3) Before giving a direction under this section, the CMA must—
(a) give written notice to the person (or persons) to whom it proposes to give the direction; and
(b) give that person (or each of them) an opportunity to make representations.
(4) A notice under subsection (3) must indicate the nature of the direction which the CMA is proposing to give and its reasons for wishing to give it.
(5) A direction given under this section may if the circumstances permit be replaced by—
(a) a direction under section 32 or (as appropriate) section 33, or
(b) commitments accepted under section 31A,
but, subject to that, has effect while this section applies.
(6) In the cases mentioned in section 25(2) and (6), sections 32(3) and 34 also apply to directions given under this section.
(7) In the cases mentioned in section 25(4), sections 33(3) and 34 also apply to directions given under this section.
(8) In the case of an investigation conducted by virtue of section 25(2) or (6), this section does not apply if a person has produced evidence to the CMA in connection with the investigation that satisfies it on the balance of probabilities that, in the event of it reaching the basic infringement conclusion, it would also reach the conclusion that the suspected agreement is exempt from the Chapter I prohibition as a result of section 9(1); and in this subsection “the basic infringement conclusion” is the conclusion that there is an agreement which—
(a) may affect trade within the United Kingdom, and
(b) has as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition within the United Kingdom.

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.
