BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Sat in a student cafe in Budapest, Laura Balazs says she will think carefully before voting in a national election on Sunday as, for her and many other in her age group, the outcome may determine if she stays in Hungary or moves abroad.

She already knows she will not vote for the likely winner, Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose campaign for a third consecutive term has been underpinned by a strong anti-migration message - in his case preventing certain categories of foreigner from moving in.
