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.

5 FCA rules relating to short selling of admitted shares and related transactions
(1) Subject to paragraph (3), the FCA may make designated activity rules relating to the carrying on of the activities specified in regulation 4. (2) Designated activity rules made by virtue of this regulation may, in particular, make provision— (a) requiring persons carrying on an activity specified in regulation 4(a) to make arrangements, such as borrowing the admitted share or entering into an agreement or arrangement to borrow the admitted share, to ensure or create a reasonable expectation that settlement of those transactions can be effected when due; (b) about the type or features of an agreement or arrangement that satisfy such a requirement. (3) The FCA may not make rules by virtue of paragraph (1) requiring a person— (a) to notify it of a net short position in the issued share capital of a company (but see regulation 6(1)), or (b) to publish such a net short position.

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.
