    I don't know where you got that definition. Wiki: A parliamentary system is a system of democratic government in which the ministers of the Executive Branch derive their legitimacy from and are accountable to a Legislature or parliament; the Executive and Legislative branches are interconnected.

    Whether or not your ministers were members of Parliament doesn't change anything about their accountability to Parliament, or the legitimacy of their government.
