Influence is far more valuable than a public veto. They get full access to laws before they are passed and access to senior politicians through things like the privy council.
This leads to several carve out of laws including tenant protection laws, human rights/discrimination laws, environmental laws etc.
When was the last time they even used that veto? Wikipedia says 1708.
they haven’t used that power publicly, but behind doors they do use their influence to get laws tweaked from time to time.
