European lecturer to harangue voters (10)

I believe the answer is:

electorate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'voters' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for electorate that I've seen before include "Voters in general" , "Those qualified to vote" , "Everyone choosing" , "Constituency" , "choosing body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
