It is commonly known that Adolph Hitler and Henry Ford shared many of the same beliefs -- the idealization of the common man, the “traditional values” of home, religion and self-reliance, the idea that hard work brings success and the desire to improve their respective countries. In the United States, unemployment in the 1930s and the Great Depression led to a new wave of immigrants. A large number of Jews had begun arriving from Eastern Europe in the 1870s and were perceived as “different” from the other Jews who were already in America; ones that people had become accustomed to: the urban, “decent” and “good” Jew that blended into society. Ford’s publication, "The International Jew" had been translated into German and his anti-Semitic ideas provided fertile ground for Germany’s Nazi movement. Hitler himself owned a well-marked, personal copy of this book, had a framed photograph of Henry Ford in his office and often cited Ford, who was the only American to be mentioned in Hitler’s Mein Kampf :

"Every year makes them [the Jews] more and more the controlling...

Masters of the producers in a nation of one hundred and twenty millions;

Only a single great man, Ford, to their fury, still maintains full independence."

There is no proof that Ford ever directly gave money to Hitler’s German Workers Party, but there is no doubt that Ford’s anti-Semetic articles, available abroad through his book, and Ford’s own position as a successful, powerful, influential American businessman had an effect on young Nazi sympathizers.

I noticed this window display on Randolph Street in downtown Chicago. The inscription on the bottom reads: "I do not consider the machines which bear my name simply as machines... I take them as concrete evidence of the working out of a theory of business - a theory that looks toward making the world a better place in which to live." Henry Ford

7 May 2011 is Polling Day (2011 will be remembered as the year of the GRCs.) by gnemsty

1

(Confirmed by the presiding officer on 8 May 2011 at 2:12 am) Many sources have mentioned that Aljunied GRC has been won by the Workers' Party. If this were true, it would have been the first GRC that has been won by an opposition since GRCs have been created in 1988. That is a total of 23 full years. GRCs have grown in size since they were started. GRCs started off with 3 men each. Currently, in this election, there are two 6-men GRCs. George Yeo, our Foreign Affairs Minister, from the PAP, first stood for elections in 1988 and has been voted in as a Minister for Aljunied GRC since but has lost his seat in this election. Another Cabinet Minister and a potential Speaker of Parliament also did not manage to get any seats.

However, sources mentioned that the other opposition party which have represented us in the Parliament since 1997, Singapore People's Party, did not win any seats this time round. (confirmed)

Other notable contests:

1. Potong Pasir SMC: SPP (50.36%) lost to PAP (49.64%) by just 0.72%, 114 votes. There are 242 spoilt votes.

2. Joo Chiat SMC: WP (51.01%) lost to PAP (48.99%) by just 2.02%, 382 votes. There are 314 spoilt votes.

3. East Coast GRC: WP (45.17%) lost to PAP (54.83%) by just 9.66%, 10553 votes. There are 1847 spoilt votes.

In 2006, in Aljunied GRC, WP (43.9%) lost to PAP (56.1%) by 12.2%. In 2011, WP won by 9.42% over PAP in Aljunied GRC.

2011 almost could have been remembered as the year when all seats were contested too if not for 35 seconds.

Now, Punggol-Pasir Ris GRC + Punggol East SMC will have one town council as what the PAP has mentioned or what the opposition call a super GRC. www.straitstimes.com/GeneralElection/News/Story/STIStory_...

Aljunied GRC + Hougang SMC can now adopt the same strategy.

Other possible super GRCs (possible oppositions):

1. Bishan Toa Payoh GRC + Potong Pasir SMC *** (SPP)

2. East Coast GRC + Joo Chiat SMC ** (WP)

3. Marine Parade GRC + Mountbatten SMC * (NSP)

4. Holland Bukit Timah GRC + Bukit Panjang SMC (SDP)

5. Jurong GRC + Yuhua SMC

6. Chua Chu Kang GRC + Hong Kah North SMC

7. Ang Mo Kio GRC+ Sengkang West SMC

8. West Coast GRC + Pioneer SMC

9. Moulmein Kallang GRC + Whompoa SMC

10. Tanjong Pagar GRC + Radin Mas SMC

GRCs which are not super GRCs:

1. Nee Soon GRC

2. Sembawang GRC

3. Tampines GRC

Hope that 3 more SMCs can be carved out from the above 3 GRCs to bring the number of SMCs seats to 15.

The number of SMCs when GRCs were first implemented started out as 42, then to 21, then to 9 and finally back to 12.
