There's a petition on the Government's e-petition site here...
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SaveTheReds/
It seems to be one of the more popular petitions to sign up to compared to others started at around the same time (though some of the motions are a little left-field), so maybe there is a ground swell of public opinion (so it's not big numbers yet, but from small acorns). Might be worth a punt if you feel strongly. But then it is easier and less time consuming to just not bother...
