Whip Debate - PJA Proposal

The Professional Jockeys Association on Wednesday evening released their own proposals for the reform of whip use in races.
In the PJA proposal, as I understand it, the total number of permissible strikes with the whip would remain at seven in Flat races with the final furlong five strike rule being deleted. Should a jockey strike his/her mount eight times with the whip it would result in a two day ban, nine would equate to four days, ten would equal a ten day ban and then two days for each additional strike thereafter. The penalties over the sticks would be as per Flat races and the five strikes after the last fence rule abolished.
In determining the number of times a jockey has struck their mount the JPA proposal suggests stewards must disregard any strikes on the shoulder when the riders’ hands remain on the reins and any ‘correctional’ strikes. PJA's proposal also states that there would be no forfeit of prize-money for any jockey breaking the rules.
All of this makes much more sense to my eyes and appears fair and reasonable but unfortunately I am not the guy making the decision!
