How about separating National and State Politics?

I have always wondered why do we have so many parties? So many parties and even more candidates only adds to confusion. It also mixes local and national issues. Haven't we seen so many times in past (including current Government) that smaller parties dictate terms to larger parties due to coalition Government. And more often than not, National policies suffer due to smaller parties, who just thrive on local issues.

I propose that the parties should be different for different levels.
1. Different Parties for State Assembly and different parties for National Politics and different for college levels and so on.
2. They should not be affiliated or linked in any way.
3. They should be run by different people means not even a single person can be part of parties at both levels in any way.
4. If Someone want to move from State Politics to National Politics then he/she should resign from the party and all related posts and then serve a waiting period of 2 years at least and then signup with a National Party.

I believe this can solve a few following problems
1. This is make sure the elections are run on base of correct level of policies and not caste or irrelevant issues.
2. Local parties will not be able to interfere at National Level.
3. Even if someone is a Chief Minister/Minister of a state and he cannot immediately become Prime minister/Minister of a country. He will have to go back and win an election at national level after serving Mandatory waiting period.
4. Coalition Governments can be avoided.
5. There will be no Favoritism for a particular state by a national party as they are different Parties.

I think there can be way more benefits of this than just what is mentioned up here. This kind of System I have already seen working great in developed country like Canada.

What do you guys think? Will this or will this not work? Please leave your comments and suggestion?
