You're talking about two very different systems. Both are generally democratic in nature, having a popularly elected legislature, but there the similarity ends. in a Presidential system, the president is usually vested with the powers of Commander- and Ambassador-in-Chief, Chief Executive, and Head of State and Government. In other words, s/he is the "Head Honcho", the big boss of government, and the government doesn't change with each election. In a Parliamentary system, the government is much more fluid because the parliament is made up of elected people from several different parties, and each party has its own agenda. In order to have order and to get what they want, these parties must form coalitions based on compromise. Often, one such compromise is on the Prime Minister, who heads that government, but often not the state. In other words, usually the PM holds the greatest amount of power, but doesn't represent the nation to the world.
