@Bhagat-singhI feel like the answer is unidirectional you have explained only the political or parliamentary aspects, you can add other dimension like effect of stability on executive( lateral entry) , stability vs innovation, stability vs reforms etc.

I might be wrong but I would have added these points in my answer. Rest it is open to discussion that my percention is right or wrong.

@Hakunah_MatataI was thinking along similar lines only:

-stability and majority being a result of populist policies eg:10 year reign of SAD BJP in Punjab
-it resulting in reduced responsiveness to needs of citizens eg: Congress rule in delhi for 15 years
-challenges of accountability as opposition is likely to be weak in such cases (eg TRS and Telengana)

Some good examples are also there Chatt and MP experiencing good agri growth and governance coz of long and stable govts

@iceblock93almond and verba talks abt 3 types of pol culture -
parochial- ppl r not aware of govt. Here ppl will follow whatever the govt does. Will have stable govt. No opposition frm ppls side. But not effective democratic govt as lacks ppls support. Top down. Few of the african countries or fused societies.
Subject- ppl are aware of govt, but do not participate. Therefore policies will be top down. Will have stable govt but not effective democratic govt.. most developing countries or prismatic societies
Participative- citizens not only aware of govt but participates in governance. It will have eefective democratic govt but because of over involvement of ppl in governance there will be constant opposition to governments decisions which are against one section of population. Therefore stability will not be their.
Almond and gabriel says to have a civic culture i.e, stable and effective democratic govt a combination of all the above three pol culture is needed , so that people will participate in governance but will also follow decisions which are against one section of population but is in public interest.

I wld have written this . Would have try to add more examples in it.

@iceblock93Well I would address this question in parts.

  1. Intro with differences: Political process is the actual functioning of the politico-administrative system while political culture is the value, notions that people have about the political subjects.
  2. How process and people orientation towards it impart a democratic character? Eg: Old Localism and New Localism. People orientation was important in later. This brings Follet's participative democracy.
  3. However, process and culture are not 2 separate distinct identity. They influence each other. Culture is formed on the basis of functioning of process. Eg: ECI and voter turnout based on integrity in election.
  4. Conclusion: Combining the two.
