Shock ! Wednesfield to be propelled into Walsall for Parliamentary Representation!

The revised parliamentary boundary proposals for the 2015 elections have been published. This is bad news for both Wednesfield North & Wednesfield South as we look now to be heading into a Walsall Constituency for Parliamentary representation! What is your view on this shocking news!
I know that there will be many in Wednesfield that will be very concerned that the Boundary Commission have at this late juncture in time, decided to jettison Wednesfield from Wolverhampton North East into a Walsall Constituency. But what is your views? I am keen to hear the readers own views.

The proposals give a reduction of one MP for Wolverhampton and give two constituencies of Wolverhampton East & West
