At the present time yes,obviously Labour is out of touch,however I think both main parties are really and it is only our electoral system that keeps the dominance of both going now.
A system whereby govts are tolerated rather than really supported.

However,that does not need to be terminal, Labour with a new leader of the calibre of say Dan Jarvis would likely connect with a good number of lost voters.

A massive amount of work has to be done to connect properly again and to ensure not to make the mistakes of Tony Blair and his daft 'new' Labour tag.
