Here's a silly idea. What if they agree to the house of lords being elected AND it being proportionally elected.

While keeping the rest of parliment the same.  Might give a nice balance.

That sounds a lot like the American system (two houses, two different methods). It would mean no single election could radically change the balance of power in the Houses.

But how would the Government be formed? Majority in the Commons? Both houses? Presidential system?

I don't see why you couldn't keep it just the Majority of the Commons.

The change would mostly be a symbolic move, that would be seen as a step foward for the Lib Dems and instead of argueing for PR, they can argue for Expanded PR or Expanded rights for the House of Lords.
