One chart shows the policies that different UK governments could pursue after the election

Britain's May 7 general election is one of the most chaotic and unpredictable in living memory - based on recent polls, it's pretty much anyone's guess what the government will look like in two months.

But Barclays analysts have tried to make it as clear as possible - they've laid out a really useful chart on how they expect different potential governments and coalitions to behave, if they get elected.

They've broken it down by the chances of government instability, regulation, austerity, ring-fencing spending on public services and more regional devolution.

Take a look:

As well as the likelihoods under each government, Barclays also note that there might not be a functioning government at all by the time Parliament opens - in which case, there could be snap elections, and the only thing that would be certain is more instability.
