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
8 Disqualification of director on finding of unfitness.
(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State ... that it is expedient in the public interest that a disqualification order should be made against a person who is, or has been, a director or shadow director of a company, he may apply to the court for such an order. (1A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2) The court may make a disqualification order against a person where, on an application under this section, it is satisfied that his conduct in relation to the company (either taken alone or taken together with his conduct as a director or shadow director of one or more other companies or overseas companies) makes him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company. (2A) Where it appears to the Secretary of State ... that, in the case of a person who has offered to give him a disqualification undertaking— (a) the conduct of the person in relation to a company of which the person is or has been a director or shadow director (either taken alone or taken together with his conduct as a director or shadow director of one or more other companies or overseas companies) makes him unfit to be concerned in the management of a company, and (b) it is expedient in the public interest that he should accept the undertaking (instead of applying, or proceeding with an application, for a disqualification order), he may accept the undertaking. (2B) Subsection (1A) of section 6 applies for the purposes of this section as it applies for the purposes of that section. (3) In this section “the court” means the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. (4) The maximum period of disqualification 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.
