In the UK there are no limits on the amount of donations a political party may receive. Political parties may only accept donations over £200 from registered voters, party members, companies, trade union or a building society. Political parties may only spend £30,000 for each constituency that it contests in a general election. If a party ran a candidate in each of the 650 UK constituencies, its maximum spend would total £19.5m.

Individual should be able to donate to parties but we should avoid taking money by any interest groups
@9ZSRHLC3mos3MO
Yes, these donations would happen whether legal or not therefore it is better to have them announced and documented for public awareness. But place a cap on the amount they can donate.
@9SKBZR96mos6MO
Yes with reason and set limits for each reason and someone reviewing it before it goes to the party so it cannot be used for bribery
@9QRXPSK8mos8MO
No but allow donations from universal good systems like unions. No. Profits should not need to donate
@9QQZRZF8mos8MO
Yes but there should be a public register of all donations and a maximum cap on how much can be donated.
@9QNY6CZ8mos8MO
Unions and non profits should be allowed to as long as they are internally democratic - corporations should not be able to.
@9QNPXF38mos8MO
All donations over the value of £50 should have the name of an individual who authorised it made available for scrutiny
@9QKY5NV8mos8MO
No, bit allow limited donations from unions and non-profits, as otherwise these types of donations just turn into bribes
