Paris, Jan 30 (AP) The French left is running divided and weakened in this year's presidential race as at least five mainstream presidential candidates have rejected any alliances with each other and an online vote meant to pick a leader appears doomed to fail. An icon of the French left, Christiane Taubira, a staunch feminist and a champion of minorities, won the so-called Popular Primary on Sunday designed to unite left-wing supporters before France's presidential election is held in two rounds on April 10 and April 24. More than 392,000 people voted in the primary. Yet many of the mainstream left-wing presidential contenders said they will not respect the outcome of the popular because they did not respect how it was set up..
