The MPs say the current first-past-the-post system for general elections is "broken".

As far as I can tell, this is referring to this proposed amendment of the Representation of the People Bill:

https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/4080/stages/20676/amendments/10035247

So, not quite a petition for getting rid of FPTP per-se, but proposing an independent body is set up to determine the fitness for purpose of the current system, and suggest ways to make it fairer.

There’s a little reading-between-the-lines needed.

    Because as in most political establishments, they did a deal with the devil. The ghouls in the background who are amassing power and collaborating with the media. And once they are elected they are owned. They were placed there…they can be as easily removed.

    And really why should they do whats right for the people? we have let them backtrack and backtrack. If you tolerate this…
