"In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."
Simplified meaning
People in politics usually have a plan for everything they do. If something happens, like a new law or a major event, it's likely because someone made careful plans for it. Politicians and their teams think ahead and try to control situations to get the results they want. For example, if a candidate wins an election that's been very close, it's probably because they worked hard behind the scenes to gain support and votes. This quote can help us understand that most political outcomes are the result of careful strategy, and being aware of this can make us more informed and critical about the actions and decisions of our leaders. If we remember this, we can better understand the reasons behind political actions and be less surprised by the outcomes.
