My take is that they should lose access to their assets, get a nominal wage plus housing/their needs tended to, and after they retire be given a pension and never allowed to take up other employment, including accepting fees for public speaking etc.

Being offered a sinecure position after they stop working as a politician is, I think, a major form of bribery.

What about public sinecure positions for electeds who leave office?

Make them a train station manager or postmaster. Once you're in a public job position, the government will employ you til you hit 62 and get your pension.
