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.

(5) Regulations under this Act may— (a) make different provision for different purposes, cases or areas, (b) make provision generally or only in relation to specified cases, (c) make incidental, consequential, supplementary, transitional, transitory or saving provision, and (d) include provision framed by reference to matters determined or published by the OfS (whether before or after the regulations are made).

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.
