Imagine it like a sort of 2 party system in a way. Really not parties but sort of. The Royals may have tons of flaws and also need to change but without them all that will be left is a Conservative takeover and no voice for the people. That is what role the Royal Family can provide. What they have provided. A symbol that provides the threat of "balance" which some politicians want to silence and has no chance of having any meaning.
