Football Governance Act 2025
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
7 The IFR’s general duties etc
(1) The IFR must, so far as reasonably practicable, exercise its functions under this Act in a way that— (a) is compatible with the purpose of this Act (see section 1), and (b) advances one or more of the IFR’s objectives (see section 6).

(3) In exercising those functions, the IFR must also have regard to the following (so far as they are relevant to the exercise of those functions)— (a) its regulatory principles (see section 8); (b) its most recent state of the game report (see section 10); (c) the most recent football governance statement published by the Secretary of State (see section 11); (d) any guidance published by it (see section 12); (e) any guidance published by the Secretary of State (see section 13). (4) The IFR must keep under review the extent to which persons are complying with obligations imposed on them under or by virtue of this Act.

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.
