The Short Selling Regulations 2025
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
13 FCA power to require notifications
(1) The FCA may require any person who has a net short position in the issued share capital of a reportable company to notify to the FCA details of— (a) the position the person holds, where it is equal to or exceeds a specified threshold; (b) any change to that position (for example, where the position falls below the specified threshold). (2) The FCA may require any person who has— (a) entered into a short sale of a financial instrument, or (b) entered into a transaction, other than a short sale of a financial instrument, where an effect of the transaction is to confer a financial advantage on the person in the event of a decrease in the price or value of that financial instrument, to notify to the FCA details of the position the person holds as a result of that short sale or transaction. (3) This regulation is subject to regulation 16(1). (4) In paragraph (1)— (a) a “reportable company” is a company in relation to which a person with a net short position equal to or greater than the threshold in regulation 6(2) is required to make a notification under rules made by virtue of regulation 6(1); (b) “specified” means specified in a notice published by the FCA under regulation 18; (c) the threshold may be the same as or lower than the notification threshold specified in regulation 6(2).

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.
