Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014
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
15 Rules to bind members
(1) A registered society's registered rules bind the society and all its members and all persons claiming through them to the same extent as if— (a) each member had subscribed the member's name and affixed the member's seal to the rules, and (b) there were contained in the rules a covenant on the part of each member and any person claiming through the member to observe the rules (subject to the provisions of this Act). (2) But a member of a registered society is not bound by an amendment of the society's rules registered after the person became a member if and so far as the amendment— (a) requires the member to take or subscribe for more shares than the number held by the member at the date of registration of the amendment, (b) requires the member to pay upon the shares held by the member at that date any sum exceeding the amount unpaid upon them at that date, or (c) in any other way increases the liability of that member to contribute to the share or loan capital of the society, unless the member consents in writing to the amendment. (3) In its application to Scotland, subsection (1) has effect as if the words “and affixed the member's seal” were omitted.

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.
