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
8ZF Disqualification following winding up under s.85 of Finance Act 2022
(1) The court must make a disqualification order against a person if, on an application under this section, it is satisfied— (a) that the person has at any time after the coming into force of this section been a director of a company while the company was a relevant body within the meaning of section 85(4) of the Finance Act 2022 (winding up of promoters of tax avoidance schemes), and (b) that a court has made a winding-up order in respect of the company under section 85(3) of that Act (whether while the person was a director or subsequently). (2) An officer of Revenue and Customs may make an application to the court for a disqualification order against a person under this section if it appears to the officer that it is expedient in the public interest for such an order to be made. (3) Except with the permission of the court, an application under subsection (2) may not be made after the end of the period of 3 years beginning with the day on which the winding-up order in question is made. (4) Under this section the minimum period of disqualification is 2 years, and the maximum is 15 years. (5) An officer of Revenue and Customs may accept a disqualification undertaking if it appears to the officer— (a) that the conditions mentioned in subsection (1) are satisfied in relation to the person who has offered to give the disqualification undertaking, and (b) that it is expedient in the public interest that the officer should accept the undertaking (instead of applying, or proceeding with an application, for a disqualification order). (6) In this section— “company” includes overseas company; “court” means— the court having jurisdiction for the purposes of the Insolvency Act 1986, or the High Court in Northern Ireland; “director” includes a shadow director.

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.
