Anyone who tells you otherwise is outright lying. The fact that it goes up by the highest increase of wages, inflation or 2.5% means it can increase real fast, and within a few years the government is suddenly having to find billions they may not have expected a few years prior.
The politicians now who say they will bring it back are almost certainly lying as well.

Oh yes, when Governments do potentially unpopular things that the opposition also wanted to do, the opposition will immediately attack them for it and then
claim that they will reverse it in order to potentially gain power.
