I think it is unlikely that they will be able to revert to what was a socialist party....and I can't see how they can take privatised industries back into public ownership and make them profitable.
They (and to be fair, other parties too) have lost a massive amount of trust.
They are where they are by their own hand...by not taking seriously the problems of immigration(this was social engineering at its worst because the impact had not been thought through), worries about jobs, the welfare state, the NHS (many hospitals are in dire financial difficulty not just through ineffective management, but because of the PFI that was instituted by Labour) the creeping control that the EU is seeming to have on all aspects of our daily life.
None of these issues has been taken seriously by any party.
