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.

A6 Code of practice
(1) A students’ union to which section A5 applies must, with a view to facilitating the discharge of its duties under that section, maintain a code of practice setting out the matters referred to in subsection (2).
(2) Those matters are—
(a) the students’ union’s values relating to freedom of speech and an explanation of how those values uphold freedom of speech,
(b) the procedures to be followed by its staff and its members who are students of the registered higher education provider referred to in section A5(1) in connection with the organisation of—
(i) meetings which are to be held on the premises occupied by the students’ union and which fall within any class of meeting specified in the code, and
(ii) other activities which are to take place on those premises and which fall within any class of activity so specified,
(c) the conduct required of such persons in connection with any such meeting or activity, and
(d) the criteria to be used by the students’ union in making decisions about—
(i) the union’s support and funding for events and activities to which the duties in section A5 are relevant, and
(ii) whether to allow the use of premises and on what terms (which must include its criteria for determining whether there are exceptional circumstances for the purposes of section A5(5)).
(3) The code of practice may deal with such other matters as the students’ union considers appropriate.
(4) A students’ union to which section A5 applies must take the steps that are reasonably practicable for it to take (including where appropriate the initiation of disciplinary measures) in order to secure compliance with its code of practice.
(5) A students’ union to which section A5 applies must, at least once a year, bring—
(a) the provisions of section A5, and
(b) its code of practice under this section,
to the attention of all of its members who are students of the provider.

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.
