Hungarians living in Britain have experienced a last-minute push from politicians and opposition supporters to register to vote.

Gergely Karácsony, a leftwing prime-ministerial candidate, who has visited the UK in recent weeks, believes that Hungarians living in the EU are unlikely to support Viktor Orbán’s stance on migration. The leader of the far-right party Jobbik, Gábor Vona was also in London earlier this month.

Around 10,000 have registered to vote in London, Manchester and Edinburgh with the deadline for registration being Friday.
