Answer 1

You have to write some code to parse the HTML from the Wikipedia site.
The PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser is the way to go to parse the HTML and get the information you need.
Once you have your data from the Wikipedia pages, you can compare them in your code.
Example to get the names (not tested, you probably need some more selectors to get exactly what you want):
ini_set('memory_limit','160M');
require('simple_html_dom.php');
// Create DOM from URL or file
$url = 'http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samenstelling_Tweede_Kamer_2012-heden';
// Object oriented style
$html = new simple_html_dom();
$html->load_file($url);
// Procedural style
// $html = file_get_html($url);
$items = array();
// Find div with class editmode and loop through it.
foreach($html->find('div.editmode') as $article) {
// Get all anchors in a unordened list with a list tag
foreach($article->find('ul li a') as $a)
$items[] = "<a href='". $a->href . "'>" . $a->plaintext . "</a>";
}
print_r($items);
If you see some weird characters in names (André Bosman for example), you should consider defining your charset (to UTF-8) in your html like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
