The Warm Home Discount (Scotland) Regulations 2026
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.

24 The broader group rebate target
(1) The “broader group rebate target” for a compulsory scheme electricity supplier in a scheme year is the number of Scotland domestic customers that is equal to— (a) where the aggregate non-core spending obligation for the scheme year exceeds £7 million, the lesser of— (i) the relevant amount divided by 150 and rounded up to the nearest whole number; and (ii) the most recent of any number determined by the Authority under paragraph (5)(b) for the supplier in the scheme year in question; (b) where the aggregate non-core spending obligation does not exceed £7 million, zero. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), the “relevant amount”, in relation to a supplier, is the supplier’s obligation percentage of the amount calculated by subtracting £7 million from the aggregate non-core spending obligation. (3) If a compulsory scheme electricity supplier considers that it will not provide prescribed rebates under Chapter 3 in a scheme year to at least the number of Scotland domestic customers specified by its broader group rebate target in that year, the supplier must notify the Authority on or before the specified date. (4) In paragraph (3), the “specified date” is— (a) in relation to scheme year 16, 30th November 2026; (b) in relation to any other scheme year, 15th November in the scheme year. (5) Following receipt of a notification under paragraph (3), the Authority must— (a) determine whether or not it is reasonably practicable for the supplier to provide rebates under Chapter 3 in the scheme year to at least the number of Scotland domestic customers specified by its broader group rebate target; and (b) where the Authority determines that it is not reasonably practicable for the supplier to provide rebates to at least that number of Scotland domestic customers, determine a smaller number of Scotland domestic customers (which may be zero) to whom the supplier must provide a prescribed rebate under Chapter 3 in the scheme year.

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.
