Stop the plans to turn Salford into Manchester
Plans to change election boundaries could see Salford Quays becoming Manchester Central and the Chancellor's Tatton constituency disappearing.
The Boundary Commission is considering cost-cutting proposals to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600 by amalgamating some constituencies.
George Osborne's seat would be split between a new Northwich seat and Tory-held Macclesfield.
Salford and Eccles MP Hazel Blears has branded the plans "a disgrace".
Some seven seats would be lost across North West England, reducing the region's total to 68, if the plans, which are subject to a two-year consultation period, go ahead.
Under the proposals, only Bury South and Wigan within Greater Manchester would remain unchanged.
