In the play, the character of Macbeth is important to the politics of Scotland because he is the king's cousin and a strong candidate to succeed him as king, which is why he is in fact chosen when Duncan's sons do a bunk. If you are asking why the play Macbeth has political importance, the answer is that it is pretty much politically correct, in flattering the current monarch. However, the play, unlike Shakespeare's Richard II, was not known to have been used by anyone for any political purposes, and indeed the indications are that it was not popular with either the people or the court at the time, so its political value, if any, was negligible.
