Trade Descriptions Act 1968
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
34 Trade marks containing trade descriptions.
The fact that a trade description is a trade mark, or part of a trade mark, . . . does not prevent it from being a false trade description when applied to any goods, except where the following conditions are satisfied, that is to say— (a) that it could have been lawfully applied to the goods if this Act had not been passed; and (b) that on the day this Act is passed the trade mark either is registered under the Trade Marks Act 1938 or is in use to indicate a connection in the course of trade between such goods and the proprietor of the trade mark; and (c) that the trade mark as applied is used to indicate such a connection between the goods and the proprietor of the trade mark or , in the case of a registered trade mark, a person licensed to use it; and (d) that the person who is the proprietor of the trade mark is the same person as, or a successor in title of, the proprietor on the day this Act is passed.

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.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
