I don't see the sense in arguing against the euro on the grounds that the inefficiencies that will result will be like a weight arround businesses necks.

Which is the exact opposite of what Caroline Lucas is arguing. She argues that "the euro benefits corporate interests, and especially those corporations operating across Europe's borders, rather than those of wider society." citeing massive public spending cuts in Portugal and skyrocketing unemployment in France and Germany, whilst also noting that those progressive Swedes voted no to the Euro in their referendum. Why do you think the Swedes voted no?

Whilst I am on the subject, here is some more analysis of the economic issues surrounding the Euro.
