Synthesized from 3 sources

Green Party leader Zack Polanski is facing questions about his voter registration and council tax arrangements after it emerged he was registered on the electoral roll at a marina in east London where he kept a narrowboat.

The Daily Mail reported that Polanski was registered at a building within the marina facility, though he has declined to specify where he pays council tax. The discrepancy has raised questions about his residential arrangements.

The scrutiny comes as Polanski celebrated significant gains for the Green Party in recent elections. Speaking about the results, Polanski declared that two-party politics is "dead" following the Greens' electoral success.

The Green Party achieved notable milestones in the elections, securing their first-ever elected mayors and taking control of several councils. Among their victories was gaining control of Norwich Council, marking a significant expansion of Green Party influence in local government.

Polanski has not responded to requests for clarification about his council tax arrangements or provided details about his primary residence. The electoral registration requirements allow voters to register at an address where they spend significant time, though council tax obligations are typically tied to primary residence.
