John Napier was a 16th century mathematician, so he was unaware even of the concept of a computer. He is mostly remembered for his mathematical discovery of the logarithm, a discovery which has lead to innumerable applications in every field of science. While there are indeed many uses for logarithms in computer science, to say that they are a part of computer history is like saying that the sine function is a part of the Big Bang theory's history.

When he was elected leader of the Liberal party he was neither an MP nor a Senator; he asked the governor-general of the time to dissolve parliament only nine days later. In that time about all he did was to make a number of choice appointments. Please see the link.
