Have you read "Green Alternatives to Globalisation: A Manifesto" by 
Micheal Woodin and Caroline Lucas :

"We believe that the real internationalist agenda does not extend to the 
creation of an ever more ruthlessly competitive supranational trade 
bloc, but our position has not always been helped by the strange and 
often questionable bedfellows opposition to the euro brings. It is all 
too easy for anyone who is opposed to the single currency to be 
characterised as an antediluvian 'little Englander'. After all, the 
argument goes, anyone who is on the same side of the debate as Rupert 
Murdock and Margaret Thatcher must be reactionary, xenophobic, and for 
some, even worse, 'anti-european'. Nevertheless, the climate of 
political correctness, which at times threaten to stifle the European 
debate, is one of the reasons why progressive, internationalist critics 
of the EU project have been at the pains to find their voice, and not 
make the mistake of leaving the pitch clear for the xenophobic and 
nationalistic Right to lose the argument."
