Scotty, I dont think that's the point Stu was trying to make. From what I understand is that he signed to a contract to say that he'll be paid X amount per year and will have a certain pension when he retires. The government want to change this so he pays in the same amount and gets less back.
If that's the solution then that policy should only apply to people joining, it shouldn't affect others who's contract is already in place. My dad has paid the required amount in for his pension and is now two years off retirement, it's massively unfair for him to have some of his money taken away. Same applies for others like Stu, granted he's not paid as much but it's still money he's put in to get the originally agreed payout when he retires.
