Parliamentary systems (at least most of them, Britain being the one major exception) tend to be unstable because of the need to form a ruling coalition in order to govern and the probability that said coalition will break apart and the Prime Minister will lose a "no-Confidence" vote. In a system such as the U.S. has, elections are held on a regular cycle and therefore, you don't see the government suddenly collapse as it does in many (if not most) Parliamentary systems on a regular basis.
