> Paula is determined to work for at least another 15 or 20 years. And no, for the 100th time, **she doesn’t have designs on the top job of leading National!**  
> “It’s flattering that there might be people who think that I could, but actually, I get to decide my career, and I don’t think it devalues my contribution and what I’m doing that **I don’t want to be the leader**.”

Jacinda Ardern in NEXT magazine

> Deputy Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has shot down claims that she?s after[?the party?s top job](http://www.noted.co.nz/currently/politics/new-zealand-election-2017-undercurrents-of-change-in-new-poll/?ref=goodoil.news), telling?*NEXT*?magazine that, despite the positive reaction to her promotion, **she?s not holding out to become leader.**  
> ?I just feel like there?s more people to let down now. I do feel an enormous amount of pressure. Because I know there are lots of people who don?t want me to screw up, and there are just as many who would really love it if I did,” she tells the magazine.  
>  
> ?It?s me knowing myself and knowing that actually, when you?re a bit of an anxious person, and you constantly worry about things, there comes a point where certain jobs are just really bad for you. I hate letting people down. I hate feeling like I?m not doing the job as well as I should. I?ve got a pretty big weight of responsibility right now; **I can?t imagine doing much more than that.?**
