Housing Associations Act 1985
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.

10 Dispositions excepted from s. 9.
(1) A disposition by an unregistered housing association which is a charity is not within section 9 if by virtue of sections 117 to 121 and 124 of the Charities Act 2011 it cannot be made without an order of the court or the Charity Commission; but before making an order in such a case the Charity Commission shall consult,— (a) in the case of dispositions of land in England, the Regulator of Social Housing, and (b) in the case of dispositions of land in Wales, the Welsh Ministers. (2) A letting ... by an unregistered housing association which is a housing trust, is not within section 9 if it is— (a) a letting of land under a secure tenancy, or (b) a letting of land under what would be a secure tenancy but for any of paragraphs 2 to 12 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1985 or paragraphs 1 to 8 of Schedule 2 to the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987 (tenancies excepted from being secure tenancies for reasons other than that they are long leases) or (c) a letting of land under an assured tenancy or an assured agricultural occupancy, or (d) a letting of land in England or Wales under what would be an assured tenancy or an assured agricultural occupancy but for any of paragraphs 4 to 8 of Schedule 1 to the Housing Act 1988, ... (e) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (f) a letting of land under a tenancy or licence that is an occupation contract, or (g) a letting of land under a tenancy or licence under what would be an occupation contract if notice had been given (see Schedule 2 to the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 (anaw 1)), other than a long tenancy within the meaning of letting of the type described in paragraph 8 of that Schedule (meaning of long tenancies). (3) The grant by an unregistered housing association which does not satisfy the landlord condition in section 80 of the Housing Act 1985 (bodies which are capable of granting secure tenancies) of a lease for a term ending within the period of seven years and three months beginning on the date of the grant is not within section 9 unless— (a) there is conferred on the lessee (by the lease or otherwise) an option for renewal for a term which, together with the original term, would expire outside that period, or (b) the lease is granted wholly or partly in consideration of a fine. (4) In subsection (3) the expression “lease” includes an agreement for a lease and a licence to occupy, and the expressions “grant” and “term” shall be construed accordingly.

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.
