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
As published
62 Local enactments relating to the supply of water for canals.
(1) Any local enactment which authorises the British Waterways Board or Canal & River Trust to take water for the purpose (whether express or implied) of using the water for a canal owned or managed by the British Waterways Board or, as the case may be, Canal & River Trust, or for purposes which include that purpose, shall have effect as if that purpose included the purpose of selling, or affording the use of, water from the canal; and the British Waterways Board or, as the case may be, Canal & River Trust may exercise their powers under Part I of this Act accordingly.
(2) The foregoing subsection shall not be taken as authorising the British Waterways Board or, as the case may be, Canal & River Trust—
(a) to disregard any restriction, whether as regards quantity or rate or otherwise, on the water which may be taken from any source, or
(b) to affect the level or flow of water in any part of the canal, or in any river or watercourse fed from the canal, to a degree which conflicts with any of the Board’s obligations or, as the case may be, Canal & River Trust’s obligations, and in particular with any statutory obligation to maintain the canal in a navigable condition.

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.
