Sweden's "more conservative approach" still includes universal health care, free undergraduate education and unemployment benefits for job-seekers as well as welfare for the poor. I'd be careful about reading too much into a change in government--sometimes it just means the people at the top change.
As a point of interest, my 98 year old grandmother is Swedish. I'm kind of hoping longevity runs in the family.
