LABOUR’S Ed Miliband launched a crusade yesterday against the government’s electoral “betrayal” of young people and urged university chiefs to join the fight to find Britain’s missing 1 million voters.

In a landmark speech from Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg’s Sheffield constituency, Mr Miliband tore into rushed reforms ending per-house electoral registration that have seen hundreds of thousands drop from the roll on the eve of the 2015 contest.

In an address to Sheffield Hallam students Mr Miliband pledged a youth manifesto, declaring: “This government has betrayed young people.”
