Ooh well, then they can't be represented. The sunni's are individuals who have different tastes. Just picking someone to represent them doesn't work.

Yes it does. It's called Power Sharing and is used in many places around the world to ensure representation of a minority when political compromise is desired. The United States itself uses something similar you know.
Can the guy you voted for read your mind? Nope, so he can't "represent" you any better than someone who was appointed.
It's not perfect, but it's a tried and true solution.
Now, having said all that, I'm not sure if the common concept of Power Sharing is being adopted in Iraq or not. Certainly the use of Proportional Representation is a good start though. I could never understand the use of "First Past The Post" in the UK and the US. It's patently unfair.
