The measure - one of the most important political decisions Miliband in his first year as leader - is designed to attract millions of voters of students towards the Liberal Democrats in recent elections and parents concerned about the financial burden of sending their children to college.

Speaking before the annual Labour Party conference, which opens in Liverpool on Sunday amid rumors of the party's credibility on the economy, Miliband insisted the plan was "the all costs.

Miliband has struggled so far to make their voices heard in the country, urging him to relegate the political community "Blue Force" and concentrate on defending the economic achievements of the previous government, while offering solutions to issues keys that are important to families.

He said: "There is no doubt in my mind that the general election will be about how people think about the future - in terms of insecurity, the program austerity, which passes through his work, his family. We have to build trust and control in the center of economic difficulties are not identified as responsible for the deficit we face right now. "
Although Miliband, declared its determination to bite the banks to pay for a decline in enrollment rates shows that the rich wanted to be more responsible, he stressed that the obligations of the community itself must be applied to your claim. He said he supported the ideas floated recently by Liam Byrne, the shadow work and pensions secretary, who suggested that people who were "doing the right thing, get a job, pay taxes, good tenants and neighbors, and so "could be placed at the head of the queue for social housing.
