Sadly most private sector workers don't live in some utopian Shangri-la, where what they'd like to happen, i.e. retire early, on a comfortable pension, doesn't.

Again, a rhetorical question, will private sector workers be happy to work longer, and pay more in tax, to help fill the more generous pension pots of their public sector working brethren?
