Sale of Goods Act 1979
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.

20B Deemed consent by co-owner to dealings in bulk goods.
(1) A person who has become an owner in common of a bulk by virtue of section 20A above shall be deemed to have consented to— (a) any delivery of goods out of the bulk to any other owner in common of the bulk, being goods which are due to him under his contract; (b) any dealing with or removal, delivery or disposal of goods in the bulk by any other person who is an owner in common of the bulk in so far as the goods fall within that co-owner’s undivided share in the bulk at the time of the dealing, removal, delivery or disposal. (2) No cause of action shall accrue to anyone against a person by reason of that person having acted in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (1) above in reliance on any consent deemed to have been given under that subsection. (3) Nothing in this section or section 20A above shall— (a) impose an obligation on a buyer of goods out of a bulk to compensate any other buyer of goods out of that bulk for any shortfall in the goods received by that other buyer; (b) affect any contractual arrangement between buyers of goods out of a bulk for adjustments between themselves; or (c) affect the rights of any buyer under his contract.

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.
