Let other areas get split up, and tagged on to neighbouring constituencies.
I don't personally care what happens elsewhere.
I do care if we are deemed not important enough an area to warrant our own M.P.
Our historical and unique identity will be harmed, as well as the power and political leverage having a M.P. who covers the same area as the borough council, affords us.

The thing is Rindi constituencies have to be around 75000 electors in size with a 5% leeway, just keeping Hyndburn as it is certainly won't happen, that's the reason to actually come up with alternatives, which of course means affecting other areas, for instance bringing Padiham in with Hyndburn, because we have a natural boundary, but that just one suggestion
