Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992
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
107 Change of name of trade union.
(1) A trade union may change its name by any method expressly provided for by its rules or, if its rules do not expressly provide for a method of doing so, by adopting in accordance with its rules an alteration of the provision in them which gives the union its name. (2) If the name of the trade union is entered in the list of trade unions a change of name shall not take effect until approved by the Certification Officer. (3) The Certification Officer shall not approve a change of name if it appears to him that the proposed new name— (a) is the same as one entered in the list as the name of another trade union, or (b) is the same as one entered in the list of employers’ associations kept under Part II of this Act, or is a name so nearly resembling such a name as to be likely to deceive the public. (4) A change of name by a trade union does not affect any right or obligation of the union or any of its members; and any pending legal proceedings may be continued by or against the union, the trustees of the union or any other officer of the union who can sue or be sued on its behalf notwithstanding its change of name.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
