Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986
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
5A Disqualification for certain convictions abroad
(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient in the public interest that a disqualification order under this section should be made against a person, the Secretary of State may apply to the court for such an order. (2) The court may, on an application under subsection (1), make a disqualification order against a person who has been convicted of a relevant foreign offence. (3) A “relevant foreign offence” is an offence committed outside Great Britain— (a) in connection with— (i) the promotion, formation, management, liquidation or striking off of a company (or any similar procedure), (ii) the receivership of a company's property (or any similar procedure), or (iii) a person being an administrative receiver of a company (or holding a similar position), and (b) which corresponds to an indictable offence under the law of England and Wales or (as the case may be) an indictable offence under the law of Scotland. (4) Where it appears to the Secretary of State that, in the case of a person who has offered to give a disqualification undertaking— (a) the person has been convicted of a relevant foreign offence, and (b) it is expedient in the public interest that the Secretary of State should accept the undertaking (instead of applying, or proceeding with an application, for a disqualification order), the Secretary of State may accept the undertaking. (5) In this section— “company” includes an overseas company; “the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. (6) The maximum period of disqualification under an order under this section is 15 years.

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.
