Federalism and a Parliamentary form of government have nothing to do with eachother. A federal system simply means that there are subnational entities (in the US, states) which have some of their own power. The UK is unitary (total central control) by history, but the process of devolution has given some powers to the constituent countries. Russia is a good example of a state that has both a parliament (the Duma is the lower house and the Federation council is the upper house) and a federal system with state governors.
