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
8ZE Disqualification undertaking instead of an order under section 8ZD
(1) If it appears to the Secretary of State that it is expedient in the public interest to do so, the Secretary of State may accept a disqualification undertaking from a person (“P”) if— (a) any of the following is the case— (i) a disqualification order under section 8 has been made against a person who is or has been a director (but not a shadow director) of a company, (ii) the Secretary of State has accepted a disqualification undertaking from such a person under section 8(2A), or (iii) it appears to the Secretary of State that such an undertaking could be accepted from such a person (if one were offered), and (b) it appears to the Secretary of State that P exercised the requisite amount of influence over the person. That person is referred to in this section as “the main transgressor”. (2) For the purposes of this section, P exercised the requisite amount of influence over the main transgressor if any of the conduct— (a) for which the main transgressor is subject to the disqualification order made under section 8, (b) in relation to which the disqualification undertaking was accepted from the main transgressor under section 8(2A), or (c) which led the Secretary of State to the conclusion set out in subsection (1)(a)(iii), was the result of the main transgressor acting in accordance with P's directions or instructions. (3) But P does not exercise the requisite amount of influence over the main transgressor by reason only that the main transgressor acts on advice given by P in a professional capacity.

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.
