"Merkel ally"?? Not sure about that, many in the CDU are probably glad that they finally got rid of Steinbach. She's been a frequent annoyance for some time now.
Ah, and she doesn't excatly leave the CDU's executive board because she was pressured to do so or something. She leaves because she's pissed at her own party more than anything else. In the last few years, the CDU has often shown reluctance in backing her or her political positions. So Steinbach simply had enough and this is her ultimate "f**k you!". This was the angry kind of resignation and not a humble one.
Anyway, this will fuel the speculations that a new conservative party could be formed as an alternative to the increasingly "liberal" CDU at some point in the future.
