A political plot is a secret plan made by a group of people, usually with the intention of achieving a certain goal. The term 'CABAL' is often used to refer to such a group, and it comes from the Latin word caballus, meaning horse. A CABAL is typically composed of a small number of people who are united in their purpose and have a common goal. They often use secrecy and manipulation to achieve their aims, and their activities can range from political intrigue to outright criminal activity.
