The parliamentary form of government gives most of the power of government to the executive?

The statement, "The parliamentary form of government gives most of the power of government to the executive" (that is, to the executive branch of the government), is in fact generally false. While an executive branch of a parliamentary system may in fact have tremendous freedom to act politically as its particular genius dictates, it nevertheless receives legitimacy from the legislative branch of the government, which retains the power to revoke the power of the executive branch by formal schedule, in identifiable emergency-situations, or otherwise.
