I'd be fine with their continued existence if the Royal Prerogative was removed from them. The Royal prerogative means that the Prime Minister has personal executive power rivalled only by despots. The fact that this power is seldom used (for example, the PM is able to take the country to war without seeking parliamentary approval) does not make it acceptable to me.
