Actually, and historically, Parliamentary government was done away with Mujib's Bakshal, where Mujib became the first "President" from the "Prime Minister" of the country. This was, essentially a "One-Party" system, some ways similar to the Communist models around the world. Mujib's powers were increased many folds throug this change. Later, BNP followed the same Presidential system. It was reverted back to pre-Bakshal era after the fall of Ershad.
Some of the very few things both major parties agreed on, after the fall or Ershad:
Parliamentary system.
Elections under caretaker government (I think the initial proposal was for next three elections only).
