It could be an interesting one this time round. Reform & Green are doing well at the minute: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwjq242nkwo

Anything that upsets the status quo is OK by me.

Interesting thought, Shizara.
I did help a local guy stand as an independent a few years back, but he was wiped out by the red rosette brigade. Sadly, in Coventry, you could stick a red rosette on a pig, and it'd get elected! - In fact, quite a few have!

Labour got it's expected kicking, and months of political haggling are coming while parties try to form administrations: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr5pdv12elmoSad news, Rebbonk; Cllr O'Boyle's been kicked out of office.

I'm heartbroken. LOL
Maybe now we'll start to see some sense in the regeneration of Coventry and vanity projects being abandoned?
