NNDB Mapper maps political connections...

map.jpgTrawling the Internet's nether regions has led Westmonster to the the NNDB Mapper, a pretty slick tool that allows users to map the social networks of politicians, actors and other prominent members of society. All the big UK political names like Blair, Brown and Cameron are on there, along with some of the lesser known politicians and their cronies. It's quite fun/surprising to see who's linked to who.


The quick tinker that we had with the device, for example, led us from Tony Blair to Satan, dark lord of the underworld, and another search that started with Gordon Brown led us nowhere.*

The program can also be used for more serious reasons...

The tool is free to use and allows users to save the 'maps' that they make for future reference. It's also quite interesting to note that the majority of UK politicians are linked before they ever even set foot in Parliament. Claims of nepotism are nothing new but it can appear quite startling in image form.
