MPs would still have to propose the wording of the acts. The idea is that the lobbying and modifications would still happen as they do now, but they would be "in camera" and the history of changes and who proposed them would be clearly visible. If you cast the net wider you run up against a problem - who is > representing who? or "who manages to let people do it to them?" MPs would still vote on the legislation, but they would be able to have help and advice from more people and that would be 100% transparent and above board. But any changes proposed would be voted on, as amendments to legislation are already by the bicameral system. It's not perfect, but the usual law-of-unintended-consequences would have a smaller arena to play in. But MPs have to work on things "as a whole", not take populist decisions.
