Can anyone explain to me how it works?

Is there a cap on campaign spending?

Can political parties borrow money?
There is no cap on total campaign spending as far as I know, but I am not an expert, and again, as far as I know, the answer is yes to the third and fourth questions, though my knowledge of campaigns in general is limited.
