"What Happens When You Slam Hansard and MATLAB together Really Hard"
Also from NTK this week, one of the coolest web applications I've seen in ages. Behold, The Public Whip.
This webscraper pulls the votes of Members of Parliament off of government websites, aggregates the information, and lets you see what a member of parliament is doing, if there's any rebellions, and if you really feel like it, a little pointalistic map of voting patterns. Pulling this off is beyond my skill, but it's all publicly available code: someone do this for Congress, for god's sake!
