This patch made Ideology worse!!! Now when I play the game as long as I have points in each ideology I can spam all of them to full in one turn cause the points don't get spent, and and cost of each does not increase. Made the game not fun to play at all, cause like I am cheating and that is BOOOOORING!
I play MP in the meantime. Seems like ideologies are disabled there for the time being. 
Ideology is working as intended for me. Did you start with a brand new game when the new opt-in patch came out? There might be a lingering bug within your savefile that the opt-in patch is causing things to get messed up.
If you did start with a brand new game under Beta 5, Opt-in Patch 2, I'd send a ticket to SD as that will help them track down what is going on. 
I have the same problem with older saves, as stated above it might be a save issue, but I will test it when I go home and edit this comment to see if it persists in new saves.
Working perfectly for me as well in single player. Not at all in multiplayer.
It works as intended for me also. General rule of thumb while beta testing, ALWAYS start a new game when the game gets patched.
Same here, in Multi-player Ideology is completely disabled and in Single Player it works normally.
