Er its not that cut and dried. Cabinet minister selection is not the decision of the winning party, its a decision made by the PM. Sure, in a coalition Govt you have members of all parties in the cabinet, but it's the PM who ultimately hires/fires. Surely, to be proportional, the ratio of party members must under AV directly reflect the vote yeah ? This goes down to ruling who will be selecting who will be the PM, it all does really.

True there is no great culture change with selecting sub-committee members, it will remain the same dark horse trading game it is now. Party proportional yep, but not vote proportional (certain people in all parties will never have any hope of getting onto a committee). AV is window dressing, it will make absolutely no difference to democratic process. We have a party system, built for FPTP, and a parlimentary system built to function in regards to it.
