ROME (Reuters) - An online vote on Friday by members of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement could strengthen its new government with the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and sow the seeds of a new bipolar structure in Italian politics.

5-Star's members were choosing whether to field a joint candidate with the PD in an election next month to pick a new governor of the central region of Umbria.
