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.

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.
@9Q6BS435mos5MO
Depends what cause it’s going to like of course if it’s for hospitals and nhs but maybe not like things that aren’t worth it.
@9Q5RS825mos5MO
The should be limit to what is donated sand procedures to document these donations to avoid bribery in the future
@9ZMYJD34wks4W
Heavy limitations, though unions I perceive as the most trustworthy as they are directedly related to the general public.
@9XJ2CQ91mo1MO
no, but allow donations from unions and non-profits but have a cap and a limit of donations for a specific time period
@9SKBZR94mos4MO
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
@9QRXPSK5mos5MO
No but allow donations from universal good systems like unions. No. Profits should not need to donate
@9QQZRZF5mos5MO
Yes but there should be a public register of all donations and a maximum cap on how much can be donated.
