The Moderates are now the third largest party in the Swedish Parliament, after the Social Democrats and the Sweden Democrats. Forming a coalition with the Social Democrats would mean becoming a junior partner and giving up the ability to make policy in favour of a small amount of influence.
The most likely defector from the centre-right bloc is actually the Liberals. They're the traditionally "free-market", pro-big business party, and also very pro-EU, which puts them at odds with the Sweden Democrats. Add their 20 seats to the left wing, bloc, and the Social Democrats stay in power.
