Not without some corrective measure, otherwise you end up with an unmanageably large national legislative body.

Also, imagine a local council which collectively underperforms: they are all corrupt and incompetent. They all get vetoed. That means the state legislature receives no members at all from that local district. How is that a good thing?

An inspiration actually taken from the Roman cursus honorum would be just that you cannot run for the state legislative body unless you have done at least one term as local councillor.
