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.

SCHEDULE 6A CONVERSION OF REGISTERED SOCIETIES INTO INDUSTRIAL AND PROVIDENT SOCIETIES: SUPPLEMENTARY
1 This Schedule has effect in relation to any registered society (“ the society ”) which is registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 and, in this Schedule, “ registration ” means registration under that Act.
2 (1) On the registration of the society any appointment as trustee of the society or any branch of it shall determine.
(2) All officers of the society other than its trustees shall upon its registration become officers of the society registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (the “new society”) holding corresponding offices in that society.
4 (1) Any agreement made by the society or any branch of it which is in force immediately before the society’s registration shall have effect as if—
(a) for references to members of the society or branch there were substituted references to members of the new society;
(b) for references to officers of the society or branch other than its trustees there were substituted references to the corresponding officers of the new society; and
(c) for references to the trustees of the registered society or branch there were substituted references to the new society.
(2) References in sub-paragraph (1) above to an agreement include references to a deed, bond or other instrument.
(3) It is hereby declared for the avoidance of doubt that—
(a) the effect of section 84A of this Act in relation to any contract of employment with the society or any of its branches in force immediately before the society’s registration is merely to modify the contract by substituting the new society as the employer (and not to terminate the contract or vary it in any other way); and
(b) that section is effective to vest the rights and liabilities of the society or branch under any agreement or arrangement for the payment of pensions, allowances or gratuities in the new society along with all other rights and liabilities of the society or branch;
and accordingly any period of employment with the society or branch shall count for all purposes as a period of employment with the new society.

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.
