"This Labour leader candidate wants us to vote on the future of the royal family."
That politician (Clive Lewis) probably wants a distraction from the internal problems of the Labour Party. He has called for unity among all the candidates (!) and is a fervent Corbyn supporter.
Given that he faces the impossible task of reconciling Corbynism with a radical overhaul, it's not surprising that a bit of republicanism and a topical diversion from matters in hand might suit him very well.
