Not necesserely.
If there is a conservative - green coalition, there will be pressure from the greens to end those messures or at least smothe them out to not be continued in a way which will not be the ruin southern Europe.
If there is a conservative - social democratic coalition, Steinbrück who would have supported austerity will not take part in such a goverment, the rest of the social democrats, especialy those arround the head of the party Sigmar Gabriel who have deep ties to the French socialist party, will oppose strickt austerity messures.

Conservative = stupid, is a purely American and Catholic European problem.
I am actualy pritty happy with Merkel. She reformed the conservative party from bein a party of old men as patriachs to a modern party of equality. Homosexual conservative representatives in parlament, a woman friendly climate within the party, the image of bein modern, non opposition to social equality and the detachment from the rusty age old countryside base and it`s horrible social conservative set of values.
Even if you dont like her financial foreign and domestic policies, in the future people will give her credit for bringing Germanies conservatives into the 21st century.
