Yes, but limit the amount they can donate

Disagree

No, but allow donations from unions and non-profits

While the Conservative Party might not be fundamentally opposed to donations from unions and non-profits, their traditional support base and funding sources do not align as closely with unions, which are more typically supporters of the Labour Party. This makes them less likely to support a policy that exclusively benefits unions and non-profits over corporations.
