One of the candidates for the federal NDP leadership race is quitting, blaming party insiders who he says don't want to see him win. Pat Stogran posted a video Saturday on YouTube, saying the inside workings of the NDP are "fundamentally flawed." He also said the party has put "major obstacles" in place for candidates trying to grow the party's base from the grassroots. But he said, "As I enter my golden years, I came to the conclusion that my love for family far outweighs my love for politics, especially selfish, incompetent politics." There are now five official candidates in the race to succeed current leader Tom Mulcair, who didn't survive a leadership review.
