Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy is the first of the party leaders to have submitted his personal profile to Friends Reunited's new election website MPs Reunited.
He names David Bowie as his favourite musician and puts 'Liberal' and 'Democrat' among his favourite words, along with 'Sarah', his wife, and 'Donald James', his new-born son.
The website is aiming to help put the politicians back in touch with the people through the amazing popularity of the Friends Reunited service.
Voters can easily view the profiles of their local candidates and send them email messages.
A swingometer is recording every time someone clicks onto a candidate's profile. On Tuesday morning, April 19, Labour candidates had received 38.1% of the voter views, Conservatives 28.9%, Liberal Democrates 22.3% and all others 10.7%.
Every candidate in the country, from Tony Blair down, is being asked to write an intimate Friends Reunited-style personal profile. Visitors view the profiles in exactly the same way as when they visit Friends Reunited to see what their old friends have done since leaving school.
Steve Pankhurst, co-founder of Friends Reunited, said: "Charles Kennedy is clearly keen to try new ways of breaking down voter apathy. It will be interesting to see if the other leaders follow suit.
"The politicians say they've lost touch with the people, so we're offering to help reunite them.
"The Friends Reunited formula has resulted in more than 11 million people regularly using our site to see what their old friends are up to and stay in touch.
"Maybe potential voters will be more disposed to check out their candidates on our site than to read all the bumpf they put through the front door.
"We hope that candidates will post candid, interesting and maybe even humorous descriptions of what they're really like on our site, rather than a series of party political broadcasts. After all, most people are probably more interested to find out their candidates' tastes in music than to hear them regurgitating the party line on the big issues."
I'm the Leader of the Liberal Democrats and I'm standing for election in Ross, Skye and Lochaber in the Scottish Highlands.
I was born in Inverness in 1959 and was brought up and educated in Fort William - living on a croft with my parents and my brother and sister. I then went to Glasgow University, before graduating in 1982 when I worked as a journalist and broadcaster for the BBC in Inverness.
I was lucky enough to win a Fulbright Scholarship to attend Indiana University in the United States. In 1983, while in the USA, the opportunity arose to stand for MP in Ross, Cromarty and Skye. So I made a flying visit home and returned full time to the UK in April. The general election followed and less than six weeks later and I was elected to the House of Commons, to become the youngest MP in Westminster.
Throughout my 23 years in I have acted as a spokesperson on issues ranging from the welfare state to Europe, agriculture and rural affairs and I've served on the All-Party Select Committee that introduced the televising of the chamber.
I was elected UK Party President, the equivalent of party chairman, in 1990, and served in that post until 1994. In August 1999 I was elected as the Leader of the Liberal Democrats. It's a great privilege and challenge leading a political party but I relish every day.

Outside politics, I relax by listening to music. I also enjoy reading, though obviously during an election campaign there's not a lot of time for that. My favourite novel is The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsythe.
I'm a big David Bowie fan. I was lucky enough to meet him recently after a concert - a real honour to meet a childhood hero.
I enjoy swimming and golf.
Without a shadow of a doubt 'Donald James' (my new born son).
'Sarah' - my wife.
'Liberal' and 'Democrat' would have to be up there.
'Fort William' because that's where I grew up and where I still live when I'm not in London.

Friends Reunited was launched in October 2000 by North London based husband and wife team Julie and Steve Pankhurst so that people could get in contact with their old school friends. A combination of word of mouth and immense media attention has propelled the site to phenomenon status, expanding beyond the school friends proposition to include workplaces, teams/clubs and streets. The site has over 11 million members, representing 43% of the adult internet population in the UK.
