Insolvency Act 2000
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
14 Model law on cross-border insolvency.
(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations make any provision which he considers necessary or expedient for the purpose of giving effect, with or without modifications, to the model law on cross-border insolvency. (2) In particular, the regulations may— (a) apply any provision of insolvency law in relation to foreign proceedings (whether begun before or after the regulations come into force), (b) modify the application of insolvency law (whether in relation to foreign proceedings or otherwise), (c) amend any provision of section 426 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (co-operation between courts), and may apply or, as the case may be, modify the application of insolvency law in relation to the Crown. (3) The regulations may make different provision for different purposes and may make— (a) any supplementary, incidental or consequential provision, or (b) any transitory, transitional or saving provision, which the Secretary of State considers necessary or expedient. (4) In this section— “foreign proceedings” has the same meaning as in the model law on cross-border insolvency, “insolvency law” has the same meaning as in section 426(10)(a) and (b) of the Insolvency Act 1986, “the model law on cross-border insolvency” means the model law contained in Annex I of the report of the 30th session of UNCITRAL. (5) Regulations under this section are to be made by statutory instrument and may only be made if a draft has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament. (6) Making regulations under this section requires the agreement— (a) if they extend to England and Wales, of the Lord Chancellor, (b) if they extend to Scotland, of the Scottish Ministers.

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.
