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.

72A The responsible pharmacist
(A1) Nothing in this Part is to be taken as requiring there to be a responsible pharmacist in respect of premises at or from which a retail pharmacy business is carried on at a time when no medicinal products (whether they are on a general sale list or not) are being—
(a) offered or exposed for sale by retail or supply in circumstances corresponding to retail sale at or from the premises, or
(b) assembled, prepared or dispensed at or from the premises with a view to such sale or supply.
(1) It is the duty of the responsible pharmacist mentioned in sections 70, 71 and 72 of this Act to secure the safe and effective running of the pharmacy business carried on at or from the premises in question so far as concerns—
(a) the retail sale at or from those premises of medicinal products (whether they are on a general sale list or not), and
(b) the supply at or from those premises of such products in circumstances corresponding to retail sale.
(2) A person may not be the responsible pharmacist in respect of more than one set of premises at the same time, except in circumstances specified by the General Pharmaceutical Council in rules in relation to premises in Great Britain or the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland in regulations in relation to premises in Northern Ireland, and then only if such conditions as may be so specified are complied with.

(6A) In making any such provision, the General Pharmaceutical Council and the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland must have regard to the principle that the burdens imposed on businesses by rules or regulations should be the minimum necessary to secure the benefits, considered in general terms, which are expected to result from the rules or regulations.
(7) The rules and regulations mentioned in subsection (6) may (amongst other things)—
(a) make further provision about the matters mentioned in subsection (1);
(b) make provision about the responsible pharmacist’s absence from the premises.

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.
