Wages Councils Act 1979
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.

1 Establishment of wages councils
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Part of this Act, the Secretary of State may by order establish a wages council to perform, in relation to the workers described in the order and their employers, the functions specified in relation to wages councils in the subsequent provisions of this Part of this Act. (2) An order establishing a wages council may be made by the Secretary of State either— (a) if he is of opinion that no adequate machinery exists for the effective regulation of the remuneration of the workers described in the order and that, having regard to the remuneration existing among those workers, or any of them, it is expedient that such a council should be established ; or (b) if he thinks fit, to give effect to a recommendation of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (" the Service ") made on the reference to it, in accordance with section 2 below, of an application made in accordance therewith for the establishment of a wages council; or (c) if he thinks fit, to give effect to the recommendation of the Service made in a case where the Secretary of State, being of opinion that no adequate machinery exists for the effective regulation of the remuneration of any workers or the existing machinery is likely to cease to exist or be adequate for that purpose and a reasonable standard of remuneration among those workers will not be maintained, refers to the Service the question whether a wages council should be established with respect to any of those workers and their employers. (3) Schedule 1 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the making of orders establishing wages councils. (4) Schedule 2 to this Act shall have effect with respect to the constitution, officers and proceedings of wages councils.

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.
