Labour leader Ed Miliband: Politicians have a problem

Ed Miliband admits he has a problem. Not just him, but all politicians in Westminster.

It's the issue of how to get more young people engaged in politics ahead of the 2015 general election.

In a chat with Newsbeat after his speech at the Labour Party conference, he told me how he planned to tackle it if he becomes prime minister next May.

As he confirmed in his speech, the first thing on his list is to lower the voting age from 18 to 16 across the UK.
