: maybe strike the "and Parliament" altogether?

Yes, since Government usually refers to both executive and legislative branches, "Parliament" may be omitted. Thank you Mike! :-)

For headlines in a newspaper and/or other publications it is best to keep it as short as possible. For one thing I would drop the articles from the sentence. How about:
Government and Parliament’s intervention must be seperated from SOE
Without further context I cannot gaurantee that the headline I provided is factually correct, but it is based on the headline provided.

Or something like this constructed more tightly (e.g.,with more nouns, etc.)

: Yes. I like this. Words like 'not', 'should' and 'with' don't look right in a long title, all spelled with capitals.

Keep Government away from SOE
Hands off SOE! (tabloid newspaper version)
For a more scholarly title (in a magazine), try
Government and Parliament should avoid interfering in SOE.
I'm a bit surprised that SOE is already plural. It would seem more natural to write "the SOE" or "SOEs" or "SOE sector".
In any case, to make titles punchy, avoid passives.
