I probably should have looked at that as well. As for candidates, my dream candidate isn't in the running, either, but as is typically the case in our winner-takes-all system here in the U.S., we are often faced with a decision between the lesser of two evils and not someone who actually represents our views. Oh to have a proportional representation system where we could vote our consciences and not throw away our votes... Thanks for pointing out the difference when you control for number of banks.

I suspect others are somewhere around there too but I didn't bother calculating them. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how many customers each bank actually has, which may be a better measure. As for the horrific debate situation, this is just another reason why I don't know if I support any of these candidates.
