Mental Capacity Act 2005
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
41 Power to adjust role of independent mental capacity advocate
(1) The appropriate authority may make regulations— (a) expanding the role of independent mental capacity advocates in relation to persons who lack capacity, and (b) adjusting the obligation to make arrangements imposed by section 35. (2) The regulations may, in particular— (a) prescribe circumstances (different to those set out in sections 37, 38 and 39) in which an independent mental capacity advocate must, or circumstances in which one may, be instructed by a person of a prescribed description to represent a person who lacks capacity, and (b) include provision similar to any made by section 37, 38, 39 or 40. (3) “Appropriate authority” has the same meaning as in section 35.

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.
