Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024
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
246 Meaning of “average consumer”: general
(1) This section provides for how references to the average consumer are to be read for the purposes of this Chapter. (2) The average consumer is— (a) reasonably well informed, (b) reasonably observant, and (c) reasonably circumspect. (3) The average consumer is to be treated as not knowing information in relation to a commercial practice where such information has been concealed by the trader (even if the average consumer might know the information from another source). (4) Where a commercial practice is directed at a particular group, the average consumer is an average member of that group (and the attributes of the average consumer in subsection (2) are to be read accordingly). (5) This section is subject to section 247.

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.
