All bets are off so far as I can see and whichever colour of incumbent government we get I expect future changes to such things as pensions, personal taxation, benefits etc. to be more drastic and happen far more frequently than ever before. Gone are the days when planning ahead meant planning for retirement 30 or 40 years hence with some semblance of certainty - a) an awful lot of people now at work will never be able to retire and b) the goalposts are going to be moved repeatedly in one way or another that it's impossible to plan for anything other than a few years ahead.
