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
17 FCA power to restrict short selling following significant price fall
(1) Where the FCA considers that the price of a financial instrument on a UK trading venue has fallen significantly during a single trading day in relation to the closing price on that venue on the previous trading day, the FCA may prohibit persons from, or impose conditions relating to persons, entering into— (a) a short sale of that financial instrument; (b) a transaction, other than a short sale of that 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 the financial instrument that has fallen in price. (2) The FCA may exercise a power under paragraph (1) only if the FCA considers that— (a) it is appropriate to exercise the power in order to prevent a disorderly decline in the price of the financial instrument that has fallen in price, and (b) the exercise of the power will not have a detrimental effect on the efficiency of the financial markets in the United Kingdom which is disproportionate to its benefits. (3) Subject to paragraph (2), the FCA may exercise a power under this regulation in such circumstances or subject to such exceptions as the FCA considers appropriate.

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.
